"Before last year's inaugural Oakland Chinatown Night Market, community leaders had long dreamed of hosting a big, rollicking night market event - the sort of outdoor bash you'll find in cities across Asia. Oakland Chinatown Improvement Council (OCIC) Executive Director Tony Trinh says the hardest part was getting the Chinatown shopkeepers and restaurant owners themselves to believe such a thing was possible."
"This year's featured food theme will be a "Taste of Chinatown," highlighting the kind of classic dishes that are most emblematic of the neighborhood: chicken wings and spring rolls from New Gold Medal, the legendary late-night spot, and a roast duck rice plate from newcomer Hay Yue. Both of those plates will be available at OCIC's own booth at the market."
Oakland Chinatown Night Market returns with expanded neighborhood participation and more than 20 food vendors, including restaurant booths selling street food outside their shops. The event adopts a Hong Kong-style layout that mixes food stalls, retail vendors, and Chinese antique sellers from the Laney College Flea Market. The Taste of Chinatown theme spotlights emblematic dishes like New Gold Medal's chicken wings and spring rolls and Hay Yue's roast duck rice, available at the OCIC booth. Additional offerings include a car show curated by Nakayama Motorsports, a performance stage with live music and DJs, and local featured artists.
