Who says Civic Center Park is closed??
Civic Center Conservancy, the Denver Asian American Pacific Islander Commission, and the Asian Roundtable of Colorado are thrilled to bring back AAPI Culture Fest x Civic Center NIGHT MARKET to Civic Center Park on May 22, 2026, from 5 p.m. – 11 p.m. as the Mayor’s Office’s official celebration of AAPI Heritage Month. The event brings together food, drinks, art, performances, and community in the heart of downtown Denver.
We'll have more than 60 food and beverage vendors that will showcase cuisines from across Asia and the Pacific Islands, alongside artisan vendors and small businesses representing Denver’s vibrant AAPI communities. The event’s signature sixteen Cultural Community Hubs and performance stage will highlight traditions, stories, and artistic expression from across the AAPI diaspora—creating opportunities for both cultural education and celebration. Since night markets originated in China and spread throughout southeast Asia, this is a perfect nod to the origins of this great evening event.
Join us for an evening of authentic cuisine, live performances, and cultural connection celebrating the depth and diversity of AAPI communities in Colorado. And, the event has FREE ENTRY!
