Saturday, August 10, 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., the Somerville Arts Council will transform Union Square into a bustling outdoor night market featuring the food of local restaurants, including Casa B, Ebi Suchi and Taqueria La Mexicana.

Fire throwers, street performers and craftsters will populate the plaza, and there will be interactive food-themed activities. This night of global gastronomy should heat up the square considerably.
