One of Markham’s landmark summer events Night It Up! Night Market returns to Markham Civic Centre from July 12 to 14. Now in its 18th year, the GTA’s longest-running night market will showcase a mosaic of iconic Asian street food and innovative Insta-worthy treats.

The outdoor festival styled in the vein of night markets from across Asia will be complemented by performances by local talent and an action-packed SportsZone by partner organization the Chinese Canadian Youth Athletic Association.

Night It Up! Night Market is a philanthropic event run by youth volunteers from Power Unit Youth Organization (PUYO). The GTA-based non-profit group aims to set a precedent in its members to learn, grow, and share within their community through events. PUYO annually donates proceeds from Night It Up! to a designated beneficiary and has contributed over $143,000 to charities across the GTA.
