So it ends. Three years after reshaping the way Warsaw eats and meets, Nocny Market will be opening for one last hurrah this weekend before making way for the builders. Housed for the last few summers on the disintegrating platforms of Warszawa Głowna, a long overdue plan to revamp the station means the end as we know it for this cult weekend hangout.

Bringing together not just food trucks, but quality restaurants hawking their specials from tiny stalls, over the course of its brief life the Nocny Market became so much more than just a hyper-cool collection of ethnic food vendors; known as the place to get tattooed in front of leering strangers, stock up on artisan donuts, swag some indigo-colored Palace of Culture socks or simply boogie on down to DJs straight from the Golden Years of Hipster, few places managed to capture the capital’s imagination in quite the same way. Think good vibes, big beats and beery, blurry nights!

Going out with a bang, the final weekend promises a party to remember: miss it, and you miss a part of Warsaw history…
