Night Market Program
Experience the vibrant spirit of Asian cultures at our Asian Night Market, a unique platform crafted by and for Fargo-Moorhead’s Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community that celebrates the diversity and creativity of entrepreneurship and artistry. Rooted in the tradition of night markets across Asia, our event offers a lively atmosphere filled with social connections and economic opportunities. Join us as we showcase AAPI vendors, businesses, services, and organizations bringing together the richness of our community under one vibrant canopy.
the Market
Our event features AAPI businesses and services across North Dakota and Minnesota. We invite them to sell, share, inform, and/or recruit prospective customers from the FM community. We do not take any percentage of the commission and aim to encourage entrepreneurship by having a low-cost-of-entry booth fee experience.
the Passport
An interactive experience, the passport, encourages visitors to visit each vendor booth and connect with each merchant to collect stamps for a chance to win a prize. Prizes are curated by organizers and are a mixture of gifts from sponsors, vendors, and purchased prizes.
