Seattle's original C-ID 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 over 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!

CIDBIA is excited to produce Seattle's original and most popular Night Market event this fall!

Join us on Saturday, September 21st from 1:00 PM to 9:00 PM to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival with live entertainment, music, dance, food, and a whole lot more. 

As one of Seattle’s largest Night Market, the conception of C-ID Night Market was intended to provide locals and visitors a unique open-air market experience... at night.

Streets are segmented off to allow for dozens of street vendors to offer a variety of food, crafts, shopping, and entertainment choices. As the sun sets over the historic Chinatown Gate, live bands and break-dancing groups perform throughout the evening as crowds dance the night away at the all-ages dance party.
