John Wang founded New York's first night market inspired by the vibrant markets he visited in Asia. With a dream that began ten years ago, he jumped into the project without prior event experience. His vision was to create a space in Queens that reflected the borough's cultural diversity and provided affordable culinary options. Overcoming challenges related to funding and logistics, he ultimately facilitated a marketplace that spans 400,000 square feet, turning the night market into a significant summer attraction in New York City.
"...I was curious whether I could bring those two things together: a market where it feels like a representative cross-section of the city...and one that's affordable" - John Wang.
"The whole point of being a night market is perpetuating stories and prolonging stories...everyone who comes to the night market has something ultimately familiar" - John Wang.
