Little Asian Bites Night Market

MINI NIGHT MARKET FIVE: FIVE SPICE UP YOUR LIFE
People of the world, (five) spice up your life! Little Asian Bites is BACK, baby! Our 2025 Night Market season is officially off to the races and we're kicking it off the way we ended last year, at Dequindre Cut Freight Yard!
We had SUCH an incredible time last August on the Cut! The Detroit Riverfront Conservancy are so lovely to work with, and both attendees and vendors alike had so much fun at this location! So we're doing it again! Join us at the iconic Dequindre Cut Freight Yard, just a few blocks away from Eastern Market, for an evening of AAPI food and fun on Saturday, July 19 from 5-9 pm!
Once again, we're calling this one a "mini" night market because the Freight Yard has a smaller footprint than previous night markets, so we want to make sure to manage expectations on that front. There will be less vendors overall, but still plenty of the spectacular flavors, scents, and vibes you all know and love to go all around!
Speaking of flavors, allow me to get corny for a second as I discuss the five spice theme around Night Market Five! We here at Little Asian Bites are beyond grateful that we're returning for a third season to put on these events for you all, but we know we're only one component (dare I say...spice???) of the larger, *spicier* tapestry that is this community! Our vendors are one, our collaborators, our volunteers, and of course...YOU ALL! Thank you ten million times over for showing up and showing out to each and every single event! None of this would be possible without all of you!!!
A HUGE thank you also to our returning Night Market Five sponsor - Scrap Soils! They will be providing our event with compost bins to collect food scraps, so we can collectively divert the food waste at our event!
Join us for a perfect July summer evening outdoors (!!!!) to celebrate culture and community in Detroit and on the Dequindre Cut Greenway! So many more details to come, but in the meantime, you know the drill! Share this event with your communities far and wide and we hope to see you all there!
