AAPI CULTURE FEST X Civic Center NIGHT MARKET

FRIDAY, MAY 22 | 5-10 PM

AAPI Culture Fest x Civic Center NIGHT MARKET, presented in partnership by the AAPI Commission of Denver, Asian Roundtable of Colorado, and Civic Center Conservancy, is a family-friendly evening celebrating culture through cuisine, entertainment, and community in the heart of Denver. This event, on Friday, May 22, 2026, from 5 pm to 10 pm, exemplifies how representation translates into community impact—creating a space where diverse AAPI cultures are celebrated publicly and authentically. AAPI Culture Fest x Civic Center NIGHT MARKET does more than entertain—it educates the broader Colorado community about AAPI heritage while providing AAPI residents with a sense of belonging and pride. AAPI Culture Fest x Civic Center NIGHT MARKET is The Mayor’s Office official AAPI Heritage Month event, sending a powerful message: You belong here and your heritage shapes Colorado’s future.

Now accepting vendor applications!

We are actively recruiting food and beverage, artisan, community resource, and marketing vendors from across the metro Denver area to join us in this celebration, showcasing the best of what Denver has to offer! While vendors from all communities are welcome to apply, priority will be given to vendors from the AAPI community.

NIGHT MARKET Fiesta en el Mercado

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19 | 5-10 PM

Kicking off Hispanic Heritage Month, NIGHT MARKET Fiesta en el Mercado, in partnership with Bonfire Event Co. and Mexican Cultural Center, will bring bold flavors and good vibes to Civic Center Park.
