Asia in a Bite Food Fest DC August 2026
Asia in a Bite is a free-RSVP Navy Yard night market August 22–23, 2026 at Tingey Plaza, with rotating Asian street-food vendors and a DJ block.
This event has ended
Asia in a Bite returns Saturday and Sunday, August 22–23, 2026 at Tingey Plaza, 101 Tingey St SE, in Navy Yard. RSVP is free. They rotate this night market around the DMV, and this is the downtown stop.
Navy Yard usually means 20 to 30 Asian food vendors, about 10 merchandise stalls, a bar, DJ sets, karaoke, and a K-pop dance block. The stalls change, so last month's Baltimore or Loudoun menu will not be waiting for you.
Think tang hulu, yakitori, soup dumplings, grilled squid, taiyaki. Come hungry and pick two or three. It gets crowded once the ballpark lets out, so earlier is kinder. Bring a card and a little cash. Some stalls only take one or the other.
This is one week after Panda Fest on Pennsylvania Avenue. Panda Fest is the big ticketed lawn. Tingey is dinner plus a wander, no timeslot required. They come back to D.C. again in late October.
RSVP, ride Green Line to Navy Yard, and eat. If Ashburn is closer, One Loudoun returns September 25–26.
When: August 22–23, 2026
Where: Tingey Plaza, 101 Tingey St SE, Washington, D.C.
