About 

The Beaverton Night Market is a project of the city’s Diversity Advisory Board, which has a primary role in planning and hosting the market each year. The concept is an original action item from the “Economic Opportunity” section of the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Plan and has since been adopted into the Beaverton Community Vision as well. The first Beaverton Night Market debuted in Sept 2015 as a part of the city’s Welcoming Week and later grew to two larger summer events, attracting around 14,000 people each year. 

Purpose

The Beaverton Night Market exists to create a vibrant, intercultural, family-friendly space that is reminiscent of night markets internationally. The Market offers a culturally-relevant evening activity and gathering space with ethnic food and crafts for families of all backgrounds in Beaverton. 

Goals 

1. Foster a space for cross-cultural exchange and interaction by community members. 
2. Create a space for emerging ethnic food/craft vendors to showcase their work and share their traditions. 
3. Promote economic opportunity for culturally-specific businesses in Beaverton. 
4. Offer a fun, family-friendly, cultural activity locally.
