9th Annual Jade International Night Market
Night markets have been popping up left and right in recent years, but Portland’s OG night market is arguably the Jade International Night Market, which has brought shine to the Jade District’s small-business gems since 2014. The ninth annual market features cultural vendors and performances as always, but you can also look forward to pin-making and a zine activity with the O82 Art Crew as part of the Canton Grill Memorial Project. Meanwhile, you’ll find me in line for crave-worthy snacks from Tomomochi, Edible Art by Natsuko, and Vietnamese coffee pop-up Beans to Phin. JANEY WONG
