Celebrate AAPI Month with us at Essex Market! Join an inspiring evening featuring Asian American entrepreneurs and community builders from NYC. We’ll dive into conversations about creating from the ground up, holding space for community, and embracing Asian identity in today’s cultural landscape.

Led by David Lee of smith + Parka, our distinguished panelists will share their experiences, challenges, and triumphs in creating businesses and spaces that celebrate AAPI culture. Enjoy complimentary refreshments from Asian-owned businesses within our market community, including treats from Chinatown Ice Cream Factory, Shibuya Dumplings, and more.
