Asianati Night Market at BLINK

Fuel up before BLINK at the return of the Asianati Night Market, where the sights, sounds and flavors of Asian night markets come to Cincinnati. Opening at 5 p.m., two hours before BLINK lights up the city, the Night Market is the perfect place to grab a bite, explore Asian-inspired art and enjoy live cultural entertainment. With 17 food vendors representing cuisines from across Asia, guests can eat their way through favorites from Korea, Nepal, Japan, India, Malaysia, Vietnam, the Philippines, Cambodia and beyond. Satisfy your sweet tooth with tanghulu, cool off with boba tea and discover new flavors along the way. Guests can also be among the first to try dishes from restaurants like Yô Đi, which will preview its Vietnamese Chopped Cheese Banh Mi before the restaurant opens. The entertainment lineup features traditional lion dances, Japanese taiko drumming and an interactive drumming workshop. Dress as your favorite character and compete for prizes in the Tokyo Kitty Cosplay Contest, or keep the whole family entertained with activities such as chopstick challenges, glow writing, puppet making and rangoli art. Come early, come hungry and make the Asianati Night Market part of your BLINK experience.
