Seattle's original Night Market - September 27, 2025
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, 2025 and 2026!
About
CID Night Market is an annual street festival in Seattle’s Historic Chinatown-International District. This free, all-ages street festival celebrates the Chinatown-International District neighborhood through street vendors, food trucks, and cultural performances.
Since 2006, the CID Night Market has provided locals and visitors a unique open-air market experience - at night. Visitors can expect to find dozens of local street vendors offering food, arts and crafts, and more. Cultural performances including a lion dance, taiko, and martial arts demonstrations will take place under the red arch in Hing Hay Park as the sun sets.
Join us in celebrating the Chinatown-International District neighborhood!
CID Night Market will take place on Saturday, September 27th, 2025, from 1pm-9pm in the center of the Chinatown-International District.
