One of Toronto’s most popular summer series is coming back to the Stackt Market this May. Backyard is making its highly anticipated return with its first event of the season, the Asian Night Market.
Kicking off part of its Backyard series, on May 16, from 4 p.m. to late, this one-night-only celebration will feature over 50 curated Asian-owned businesses.
And it’s all going down right in the heart of Toronto.
What to expect
They’ll be serving up everything from authentic street eats and refreshing drinks to handcrafted goods and one-of-a-kind experiences.
Expect traditional cultural performances, live DJs, and an electric atmosphere as thousands are sure to hit up the popular summer destination.
You’ll even have the chance to shop for handmade candles, jewellery, art, fashion, and more.
Thousands of attendees are expected to pack the grounds for a high-energy evening filled with flavour, music, and vibrant photo ops.
This event is all part of the five-part Backyard series, which transforms the downtown shipping container market into an immersive open-air festival space.
Tickets
Now for tickets, the event is free to attend. Newsletter subscribers get front-of-the-line ticket access. Tickets are set to drop on April 30.
