Boston Little Saigon Cultural District invites the community to join the 2025 Chợ Đêm, Boston Little Saigon Night Market in Fields Corner, Dorchester.
Special attractions include a diverse line-up of entertainment, games and activities for all ages, a beer garden, Instagram worthy photo opportunities, and street food including chicken wings, skewers, crawfish, and more!
Night markets are outdoor street festivals that include food vendors, artisan/merchandise vendors, games, entertainment, and photo opportunities. They can be found all over Vietnam and are one of the most loved experiences by locals and tourists. Having a Vietnamese centered night market in the Boston Little Saigon Cultural District will not only highlight the community, but also bring a cultural experience to nostalgic residents who grew up in Vietnam and locals who are yearning for new experiences.
Boston Little Saigon Cultural District is rich with culture and history. The night market will be a fun way to get a “taste” of everything Boston Little Saigon has to showcase in a fun-filled evening.

WHAT SUPPORTERS ARE SAYING
“I have lived in this neighborhood for many years, and I think it would be very nice for the neighborhood to transform into a cultural district. It will showcase the many layers of our community.”
A supporter from the Boston Little Saigon Public Meetings
“We want to express our support for the Little Saigon Cultural District initiative. Boston is a melting pot, however at every corner, there is an unique ethnic group. We believe having a Cultural District of a specific ethnic group is not an act of segregation or racism, but in fact, an act of unity. We celebrate and appreciate the contribution of each other. Through this we can learn to love and embrace our differences and build a better Boston.”
A supporter from the Boston Little Saigon Public Meetings
We believe that with the district being formed, more people would know about our language school. We want the district to be a place where kids can learn, appreciate the culture, and be able to interact with a diverse group of people, all in one place. We love to share our culture with others and also learn others’ in return. It would be fantastic if this district would become a tourist destination for those who want to learn more about the Vietnamese-American heritage and traditions and to enjoy good food with families and friends.
