Shop & Grub
 |
Every month, people from all over Wichita come together for shopping, food, and fun.
For most of the year, Shop & Grub is in the afternoon, but in the summer months, Festive ICT pulls out the stops and opens up the Shop & Grub Night Market.
Come on down to Exploration Place Festival Plaza. Last month, my brother and I went and we tried:
- βBubl Works - Boba Tea
- βCata Las Delicias - Delicious Venezuelan Food
- The Thai-Thai Booth by Apple Snook
These are just a few of the wide variety of places. You can also find music from Marcobiotics and our good friend Courtney Nance as host.
Highly recommend you check it out, the next date is this week on Friday, August 18th. This will be the last night market for the year.
