Seattle’s beloved Chinatown-International District (CID) Night Market is making a comeback on Saturday, Sept. 21 after a one-year hiatus.
For over two decades, the CID Night Market has drawn thousands of visitors to the neighborhood with its mix of local vendors, street foods, and dynamic cultural performances.
While last year’s festival was canceled because of rising costs + sponsor shortages, this year’s Night Market will be restored to its former glory thanks to a $250,000 sponsorship from Amazon.
The free street festival will take over the heart of Seattle’s historic Chinatown-International District — stop by 1-9 p.m. and discover the following:
- 90+ food, arts and crafts, non-profit, and business vendors
- A lion dance, taiko drumming, and martial arts demonstrations
- A dramatic transition from golden hour to nightlife below Hing Hay Park’s iconic red arch
CID Night Market is an all-ages street festival connecting Seattleites and visitors with the neighborhood’s resources and culture.
