Live & Local: 2024 Siagon Azteca Night Market | August 10

Denver’s Westwood neighborhood is one of Denver’s most diverse, and this weekend’s Saigon Azteca Night Market is a massive celebration of both Asian and Mexican culture. The festival is on Saturday, August 10, from 2 – 10 p.m. on Morrison Road between S. Quitman St. and South Patton Court.

The cross-cultural mashups on display include a Folklorico Fan Dance, and a car show featuring low riders and Japanese sports cars. The food collabs are mind-blowing: Kimchi tacos, chicken teriyaki tostadas, “Phosole” (Pho and Posole), a Birria Ramen eating competition, and more!
