Twas the Night

Twas the Night

About

Fairyland undergoes a magical transformation every winter when twinkling lights take over and create a Fairy Winterland.

Twas the Night is the now-famous night before Fairy Winterland when the park belongs to grownups only and becomes an open air night market, a live music event featuring the best of the Bay Area’s homegrown heavy hitters, and a dazzling wonderland of whimsy!

  • DJ Kream Spinning Live
  • Live Musical Acts, featuring the Futurelics
  • Dancing
  • Vendors
  • Libations
  • Open-Air Marketplace
  • Local Eats
  • Artisan Gifts


Twas the Night is  a 21+ winter evening affair mixing magic, music, market, and moonlit holiday merriment. Bust out your flyest ugly sweater, score some one-of-a-kind gifts, sip on seasonal adult bevs, and raise a glass with your closest crew.
Celebrate the most wonderful time of the year at Oakland’s most unique night market!
