ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) It all started with an idea. I think Rochester has a lot of diversity in food and businesses, but we don t always see them all together in the same place, Night Market organizer Tiffany Alexandria said. And I just thought it s something really fun to showcase.
A showcase Saturday night that will transform the Mayo Civic Center Riverfront Plaza, into Rochester s first ever Night Market. In a three night series, it aims to bring Asian culture to the heart of Rochester; featuring food, drinks, art and handmade products that encompass Asian society and traditions. I have a lot of community support, which I am so grateful for, Alexandria said. I couldn t have done it without the community.
Live performances - enjoy those in the Art Center s grand lobby.
.and more food, boba tea, games, arts, handmade products, and fresh produce, with a vendor roster emphasizing Asian & black, Indigenous and people of color(BIPOC).
“An event like this is important, because ever since I moved here, I’ve seen small businesses struggle. It s hard for them to be at the same platform as some of the larger businesses, because they can t pay as much. It’s also tough for some minority businesses, because they don t always get the same information. In some ways, they live in a different community. The info that’s posted at the Asian Food Store, for example, isn’t the same information that’s posted at downtown coffee shops.” Tiffany Alexandria, CHOOCHOO-ca-CHEW
