Popular Night Market is Back in Business
Festive hallmark of the Chinatown-International District returns this weekend
By Rob Smith September 19, 2024
The Chinatown-International District’s annual Night Market is back.
After its cancellation last year because of rising costs and decreased sponsorship, the popular market returns from 1 p.m-9 p.m. this Saturday. Earlier this year, Amazon pledged $250,000 to ensure the Market will continue through 2026. It first began in 2006.
This year’s street festival features more than 100 vendors and cultural performances, and is open to all ages. Visitors will take to the streets to mingle and soak in the district’s dynamic culture as live musicians perform throughout the day.
Crowds enjoy local goods and performances at the market.

Amazon also donated 127,000 pounds of food at the Bumbershoot Festival over Labor Day weekend.
