Ottawa's Chinatown Night Market Is Like A Mini Trip To Asia & You Can Feast On Endless Food
It's back for another year!
You can feel like you've travelled to Asia this summer just by walking around downtown Ottawa's Chinatown next month.
The city will host Ottawa's Chinatown Night Market from June 2 to June 4, 2023, after "great success from 2022."
"We are making the 2023 Ottawa Chinatown Night Market an event you'd never forget!" Ottawa Chinatown's website states.
The night market will be a "melting pot of cultural foods" from local spots to out-of-town favourites.
The event is three days and will have various multicultural performances, including a dragon, lion dance, live music, martial arts, instrument performances and other surprises.
All ages are welcome at the night market, so make sure to take your little ones with you to enjoy a weekend filled with food and non-stop performances from all over the world.
Some cuisines that will be featured at the event, other than Asian food, will include Mexican, Indian, Middle Eastern, Canadian, Brazilian and more.

The night market is located in Ottawa Chinatown between Bronson Avenue and Bell Street North, and timings vary by day, so make sure to check out the timings on the BIA's website.
