The Night Market Will Once Again Transform Downtown Rochester in 2022

Thousands of people joined in on the Night Market experience in Rochester, Minnesota last year and thanks to an expansion of this event, even more will have an opportunity to experience an Asian Market in the heart of the Med City.

According to a press release, the Night Market will be held the following dates, times, and locations:

• July 2, July 16, July 30, August 13, and August 27 from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. at 307 E Center Street in Rochester (the parking lot across the river from Mayo Field and across the street from the Civic Theatre.)
• Sept. 10, from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. outside at the Mayo Civic Center.  This date is also known as the Mid Autumn Festival, Moon Festival or Mooncake Festival and is celebrated in Chinese and East Asian cultures.

“I want The Night Market to be an incubator. My goal is to cultivate vendors. Switching to smaller, more frequent events allows the vendors to be more successful. It also makes this more sustainable,” Tiffany Alexandria, Night Market Founder
