Asian Night Market Festival Named #2 Best Night Market Festival in the Nation by USA Today 10Best

We are thrilled to announce that the Asian Night Market Festival has been officially recognized by USA Today 10Best as the #2 Best Night Market Festival in the United States!

This incredible honor celebrates the heart, culture, and community that make the Asian District such a vibrant part of Oklahoma City. Each year, the Asian Night Market Festival brings together tens of thousands of visitors to experience the rich diversity of Asian cultures through authentic cuisine, local vendors, cultural performances, art, music, and family-friendly entertainment.

This national recognition would not have been possible without the unwavering support of our community, volunteers, sponsors, vendors, performers, and festival attendees who continue to make this celebration a true reflection of the cultures and traditions we proudly represent.

The Asian Night Market Festival is more than an event, it is a celebration of connection, belonging, and the many cultures that make Oklahoma stronger. We are honored to share this achievement with the entire Oklahoma City community and beyond.

Thank you for helping us shine a national spotlight on the Asian District. We can’t wait to continue growing, celebrating, and welcoming everyone to the festival each year!

Experience the award-winning Asian Night Market Festival in October of 2027— where culture, community, and connection come together.

According to Advan’s estimated visitor data, the festival welcomed approximately 80,000 visits across Friday and Saturday in 2025 and 2026. Saturday brought an exciting surge, with estimated visits increasing from 37,710 in 2025 to 45,798 in 2026 — an impressive 21% increase in Saturday attendance!

As highlighted in the accompanying graphic, these numbers reflect the continued enthusiasm for the Asian Night Market Festival and the important role it plays in bringing people together to celebrate Asian culture, food, and community.

None of this would be possible without the incredible support of our sponsors, donors, volunteers, vendors, performers, community partners, and everyone who came out to celebrate with us. Your time, generosity, talent, and enthusiasm are what make this festival special year after year.

8 Years of Celebrating AANHPI Culture in the
Heart of Oklahoma City

One of the largest cultural festivals in Oklahoma City, the annual Asian Night Market Festival celebrates and promotes the cultural diversity, heritage, and economic vitality of Oklahoma City’s Asian community.

Starting in 2018 with about 15,000 attendees in its inaugural year, our festival now attracts around 80,000 attendees for an immersive cultural experience featuring traditional and contemporary Asian cuisine, live performances, vendors, and family-friendly activities.

By providing a platform for local small businesses, cultural organizations, and performers, the event strengthens community ties, supports economic growth, and enhances public understanding of the many Asian cultures represented in the district and throughout Oklahoma.

This festival serves as a key initiative in advancing our organization’s mission to foster cultural awareness and create inclusive, community-centered events.
