A fan favorite is returning for this year’s BLINK. This year, Asianati Night Market promises to once again bring tons of delicious food vendors, art installations, experiences and games to downtown Cincinnati for the immersive art and light festival.
BLINK returns Thursday-Sunday, Oct. 17-20, and Asianati Night Market will set up on Court Street Plaza from 5-11 p.m. for the duration of the festival. Organizers say the popular attraction is expanding this year after seeing over 540,000 attendees at BLINK in 2022.
Guests can expect Court Street Plaza to be transformed into an authentic, bustling night market, offering a vibrant energy and displaying the cultural richness of Asia. The culinary offerings will showcase a diverse array of street-style cuisine from Asian restaurants across Cincinnati, ranging from skewers and dumplings to desserts.
“The Asianati Night Market is more than just a food festival; it’s a full sensory journey that promises to be one of the highlights of the amazing BLINK experience,” Sarah Kramer, operations manager of Asianati, said in a press release. “We are inviting the community to come out and get immersed in Asian culture and hopefully feel what it’s like to go to night markets in Asia.”
In addition to food, the market will also feature immersive visual elements like colorful lanterns and art installations that were inspired by traditional Asian night markets.
