Michelin-honored Cantonese restaurant Tiger Fork and its sister bar Hi-Lawn are coming together to host the “Spring Night Market” — a traditional Chinese festival celebration from May 29-30. They will transform the 1000-person rooftop atop Union Market into a lively two-day Hong Kong night market, decked out with illuminated lanterns, food stalls from guest chefs, pop-up shops from local artisans, cultural performances, late-night DJs, baijiu and sake bars and more. They will be accepting donations on-site for Chefs Against AAPI Hate.
This is Tiger Fork & Hi-Lawn’s second collaborative night market, the first hosted during last September’s mooncake festival, which drew more than 4,000 attendees. May is AAPI Heritage Month, and Tiger Fork & Hi-Lawn are bringing more than a dozen acclaimed local restaurants and vendors to one of DC’s largest rooftops.
Tiger Fork’s executive chef Simon Lam will cook savory street food-inspired fare and unique sweets alongside guest chefs/restaurants such as Love, Makoto; Chang Chang; Padaek; Hiraya; Lucky Danger; Magpie & The Tiger; Dan Dan Boy; Hollywood East; Toimoi; Yume Asian Fusion; CHIBOO Bakery; Shared Tea; and Party of Popcorn (with more to be announced soon) at food stands throughout the open-air rooftop.
Guests can peruse specialty gifts and wares from pop-up market stalls throughout the celebration.
Festival drinkers will enjoy a special Baijiu + Sake Bar, pouring China’s national spirit, plus an assortment of sake, and other liquor, themed cocktails, beer and wine.
There will also be cultural performances such as lion and dragon dancing from Shaolin Hung Fut Kung Fu School will take place live on the lawn.
And DJs will keep the spirited energy going all night long, spinning tunes from 9pm to midnight.
The two-night festival supports a fantastic cause, helping to raise funds to benefit Chefs Stopping AAPI Hate.
Tiger Fork’s Spring Night Market is free to attend and open to the public, but RSVPs are required on Eventbrite. Donations to Chefs Stopping AAPI Hate are encouraged and accepted throughout the event. All food, beverage and artisan crafts will be sold a la carte, first-come, first-served.
