It's quite common in my city. There was an event called "Moonlight Madness" where the local shops would be open late. It was in the paper, there were signs put up, big chalk designs all over the sidewalks downtown. "open late" meant "7:30" to most shops. It wasn't even dark enough for there to be moonlight, just my madness.
