Will you be heading to Oakland Chinatown's first-ever night market? 🏮⁠
⁠
Spanning two blocks of 8th Street on Saturday from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. and organized by the Oakland Chinatown Improvement Council (OCIC), the night market is inspired by the success of similar events in San Francisco but will have a distinct Oakland flavor. ⁠
⁠
OCIC Executive Director Tony Trinh grew up in Chinatown and has witnessed the neighborhood's changes firsthand. “Since the pandemic, it really accelerated. Vacancies, a lot of graffiti, illegal dumping, as well as just a lot more crime,” Trinh told NBC Bay Area. He hopes the night market will attract new visitors and remind them of the area’s once-vibrant nightlife. ⁠
⁠
The OCIC, which hopes to make the night market a regular occurrence, envisions the event as a catalyst for revitalizing Chinatown's shops and reigniting a sense of community. ⁠
