Seattle's original Night Market - September 21, 2024
"A hallmark event in Seattle's Chinatown-International District (CID) will make its big return after a hiatus in 2023." - KOMO News
For almost 20 years, thousands of people have flocked to the annual Chinatown International District Night Market to visit local vendors, eat street food and gather with the community. Unfortunately, the market was temporarily canceled in 2023 due to rising costs and a lack of sponsors.
But thanks to a generous sponsorship from Amazon, and all of your support.... we are back for 2024!
