FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CEDAR PARK, TX – September 2, 2025 – NightMarket.fun, in partnership with the City of Cedar Park, is thrilled to announce the extensive and diverse lineup of vendors for its festival event on Saturday, October 18, 2025, at Lakeline Park. This one-day celebration of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) culture will feature over 100 small businesses, artists, food vendors, and community organizations, creating an immersive experience of flavor, culture, and community.

The event’s theme, “Transformation and Growth: Celebrating the Year of the Snake,” is a testament to the thriving entrepreneurial spirit within the AANHPI community and the broader Central Texas region. It provides a vital platform for small, local businesses to connect with a wider audience, fostering economic growth and cultural exchange.

“We feel incredibly privileged to showcase such a remarkable and diverse group of vendors,” said Andrew Lee, Co-Chair of The Lunar Foundation. “Their talent and passion are the heartbeat of NightMarket.fun, and their creativity reflects the vibrancy of Pan-Asian and local cultures across Central Texas. This festival shows how artists and arts professionals are shaping a space for the arts to thrive locally, whether through food, craft, or design.”

Mark Duval, President and CEO of the Greater Austin Asian Chamber of Commerce, added, “NightMarket.fun is a perfect example of our mission in action. Small businesses are a foundational piece of our area’s economy. By creating these opportunities, we are not only helping small, family businesses to thrive but also enriching the cultural landscape of our region. The connections made here go beyond commerce; they build a stronger, more vibrant community for everyone.”

Attendees will discover a bustling marketplace filled with unique art, handmade crafts, and innovative products. Culinary offerings will be a major highlight, with a wide array of street food, traditional dishes, and modern culinary creations. A new feature, “Fortune Alley,” will offer mystical experiences with tarot readers, astrologers, and more.
