A grand celebration of Asian Heritage Month will be taking over Toronto’s favourite shipping container hub for one night only this weekend.
As part of the highly anticipated 2026 BACKYARD series, the Asian Night Market is returning to STACKT market on Saturday, May 16, illuminating the industrial space with an unforgettable evening of flavours, artistry, and culture.
Visitors can shop from over 50 curated Asian-owned vendors, offering everything from handmade jewelry and artisanal candles to cutting-edge fashion and original art.
When it comes to programming, this year’s lineup features a dynamic mix of traditional and contemporary talent, including cultural showcases and never-before-seen performances. Between shopping, guests can catch live DJ sets keeping the vibes high all day and night.
Of course, it wouldn’t be a night market without the food. Attendees can expect a massive array of authentic street food and fusion dishes, showcasing the diverse flavors of the continent. Whether you’re craving classic dim sum, spicy skewers, or innovative sweet treats, there’s a plate for every palate.
The best part? The BACKYARD: Asian Night Market is completely free to attend, making it an accessible way to celebrate the city’s rich diversity.
