After 5pm in the Shopping District 🌃

Because there’s more to do after 5pm than just shop! Whether you've spent the afternoon picking up new finds or you're heading in just as others are clocking off, MK’s Shopping District has plenty to offer after 5pm - from late-night shopping and drinks with friends, to dinner dates, casual eats, and late-night bowling.
