Free Live Music and Local Shopping at CityLine Plaza This August

On Friday, August 14, The Boho Market brings its monthly CityLine Night Market back to CityLine Plaza, and this installment features a live set from Jett Platt. Doors open at 6:00 PM. Admission is free.

If you have not been to one of these before, the format is straightforward: local artisans and makers set up alongside the restaurants already operating at CityLine, creating an evening that combines shopping, food, and outdoor entertainment in a single stop. The market runs on the second Friday of each month, making August 14 the natural summer anchor date for the series.

What the Night Market Actually Offers

The Boho Market positions itself as a curated outdoor experience rather than a standard flea market. Vendors tend toward handmade goods, independent boutique items, and specialty products — the kind of merchandise that does not turn up at big-box stores. Because the event is embedded at CityLine Plaza, the onsite restaurant options are already in place, so attendees can grab dinner, browse vendor stalls, and settle in for the live music without leaving the footprint of the development.

Jett Platt headlines the August 14 edition. The free live music component is a consistent feature of the night market format, not a one-time addition, which means residents who have attended earlier 2026 editions already know the general rhythm of the evening.

Practical Details for August 14

  • Date: Friday, August 14, 2026
  • Time: 6:00 PM
  • Location: CityLine Plaza, Richardson
  • Admission: Free
  • Parking: CityLine’s structured parking is available on-site

Because the event runs outdoors in mid-August, the usual North Texas summer-evening caveats apply. Temperatures in the Dallas area at 6:00 PM in August routinely sit in the low-to-mid 90s before dropping as the sun sets. Light clothing, water, and a plan to arrive closer to sundown if the heat is a concern are sensible preparations. The plaza layout at CityLine does provide some shade from surrounding structures, but this is an open-air event.

CityLine as a Backdrop

CityLine has been adding programming and tenants steadily through 2026. The night market fits the development’s broader positioning as a mixed-use destination rather than a conventional retail strip. For residents in the Campbell Road corridor, the Spring Valley area, and the neighborhoods east of US-75, CityLine Plaza is a practical drive — and on a Friday evening, the surface streets around the development are generally more manageable than midday weekday traffic.

The Boho Market’s monthly cadence at this location means August 14 is not a one-off opportunity. If you miss it, the series continues through subsequent months on the same second-Friday schedule. That said, summer nights in Richardson tend to draw larger crowds than fall or winter editions, partly because families are still in a flexible pre-school-year routine and partly because the outdoor setting feels more natural in the long evenings of late summer.

How to Stay Current on the Series

The Boho Market maintains its own website with vendor information and lineup updates as each market date approaches. For residents who want confirmation of vendor lists or any last-minute changes to the August 14 event, checking directly with the organizer closer to the date is the most reliable approach. CityLine’s own site also reflects programming updates as they are announced.

For a free Friday-evening option that does not require advance tickets or reservations, the August 14 CityLine Night Market is one of the more logistically simple outings on the summer calendar. Show up at 6:00 PM, browse the vendors, eat at one of the plaza restaurants, and catch Jett Platt’s set — no wristbands, no registration, no cover charge.

Never miss a bite.
