An Asian-inspired Night Market will be brought to Downtown Phoenix, inviting the city to experience the same informal ambiance and unforgettable street food that's found in open-aired markets throughout cities in East and Southeast Asia.
The two-day event will spotlight innovations in Asian cuisine, introducing guests to both well-known and more niche dishes. With over 40 food and retail vendors, those visiting are sure to discover new and exciting meals, or twists on existing menu items. To make the event even more exciting, each vendor has been asked to prepare a limited-edition item that's not available in stores or restaurants.
This two-day event serves as one of the many Asian-inspired night markets that have been appearing throughout the United States and Canada.
