Every Thursday night, from 6pm to 10pm, Garapan’s Third Street is transformed into an open pedestrian mall as the Street Market’s many food vendors’ wares send tantalizing aromas into the air and the local entertainment thrills patrons, local residents and visitors alike.
The Garapan Street Market provides a safe venue for both residents and visitors who are looking for an alternative adventure during the week that will provide them the opportunity to enjoy great food and entertainment.
The entertainment changes weekly from local dance troupes to multi-cultural groups offering an array of fire-knife dancing to audience participation in mock Polynesian hip shaking.
Performers such as the Tekanahao Dance Group, Aloa Ali Dance Group and Boyz to Mix put on skits that amuse and delight the weekly patrons to the Street Market.
