Tucson Asian Night Market returns with early entry tickets, chef-served food flight, new food service setup

Tucson Foodie’s Tucson Asian Night Market returns to Kino Sports Complex, 2500 E. Ajo Way, for another evening of street food, live performances, and cultural celebration.

General admission runs 6-10 p.m. on Saturday, November 28. Tickets are $10 plus fees, and children 12 and under enter free. Public parking is included in the lot directly west of the event with every ticket purchase. Get tickets here. Foodie Club members save 50% on their event ticket purchase in the app or directly on the event website.

The May edition drew a full house, and this edition brings two new add-ons that directly address the most common feedback: more food and faster access. Vendors have taken that input seriously too. HUHU’s House of Dumplings, one of the market’s most popular stops, has upgraded its back-of-house setup for this edition.

“We have a new set up for back of house that allows us to fulfill more volume in a shorter period of time,” said Whitney Meilan Yang, Head of Flavor & Outreach at HUHU's. “It’s gonna be great for the next Asian Night Market.”

What’s new: early entry and a chef-served buffet

Two add-ons are available this edition for the first time. Both require a general admission ticket for event entry and are available at checkout.

Early Entry and VIP Parking add-on ($15 plus fees):

  • Event access at 5 p.m., one hour before general admission.

  • Dedicated early entrance gate.

  • VIP parking pass in a dedicated lot directly next to the early entrance gate.

Chef-Served Food Flight add-on ($20 plus fees):

  • A dedicated chef-served food flight with three food items (menu coming soon).

  • A quick, convenient option to eat at the event alongside all the food vendor offerings.

The chef-served food flight reflects direct community feedback that more food capacity was needed. Tucson Foodie is working with local chefs to build the food flight menu, which will be announced ahead of the event.
