Ottawa’s Original Night Market
Since 2015,
the Ottawa Asian Fest has grown into one of the biggest cultural events in the region. A 3 day food festival Night Market drawing crowds of over 40 thousand attendees.
The Night Market highlights the very best in Asian culture and cuisine from across Ontario. From K-pop dancers to musicians and street foods chefs specializing in the most unique and trendy Asian dishes, our festival has become a true celebration bringing together people of all ages, cultures and backgrounds. Ottawa Asian Fest is a truly a weekend to remember for foodies, photographers or just anyone looking to experience the feel of an Asian Night Market in the heart of the capital of Canada.
After 4 Night Markets in Ottawa’s Chinatown, Ottawa Asian Fest is moving to Sparks Street this summer 2022. Night Market fans can expect better accessibility, more parking, more seating, more FOOD, and an even BIGGER event on the pedestrian-friendly and beautiful Sparks Street!

Why is the Asian Night Market on Sparks St and not Chinatown this year?
After 4 successful Night Markets in Chinatown, we’ve decided that a larger, more accessible space is needed to accommodate our event that gets bigger each year. Sparks Street helps solve many issues from previous Night Markets with lack of space, accessibility and parking. By moving to the pedestrian-friendly Sparks Street we now have more available parking, direct access to public transit, and most importantly more space for festival goers and vendors. Expect even more performances and food this year with the Asian Night Market on Sparks.
Do vendors accept cash/debit/credit?
All vendors accept cash and some may other digital forms of payment. We recommend coming with cash.
Are dogs allowed at the event?
Yes, but for the safety of your pup and others we ask that you please keep your pet leashed at all times.
