“This event is a testament to the incredible talent and dedication of our fellow Asian business owners, and we’re excited to partner with Christina Pack founder of Auntie’s Supply, in creating an unforgettable experience for our community.”

To kick off the first night of the market, there will be a drag show featuring the Queens of Dim Sum, a collective of Asian drag queens, kings, and talented performers.
