Clevelanders are hungry for unique public social experiences as the explosive growth of the Cleveland Flea and the Night Markets in AsiaTown has illustrated.
The Night Markets started in June 2015 and by the end of that season were attracting massive crowds to the block-long stretch on Rockwell filled with local artisan and maker vendor carts and booths, (mostly) Asian food providers grilling food on the spot, and entertainers from various cultures, ranging from DJs to ethic dancers to taiko drummers to rock & roll bands. Costumed performers, stiltwalkers and Chinese dragon dancers wending through the crowd added atmosphere especially after dark.
It’s no surprise that last year, the Night Markets were sprawling off Rockwell to adjoining streets, and the number of artist/vendors and food offerings (including food trucks) had multiplied exponentially. A large parking lot filled with tables serves as a dining area, with a large stage for performances.
The monthly markets start again this week. They’re kid-friendly, pet-friendly and best of all, they’re free.
