HKMKT NightMKT 2026 at Asia Times Square
Asia Times Square lists the 40th Annual HKMKT NightMKT October 23–25, 2026, at 2615–2625 West Pioneer Parkway, Grand Prairie. Free outdoor entry. Daily hours are still not posted.
Free admission
Asia Times Square is listing the 40th Annual HKMKT NightMKT for Friday through Sunday, October 23–25, 2026, at 2615–2625 West Pioneer Parkway in Grand Prairie. Entry is free and outdoor on the plaza card.
HKMKT means Hong Kong Market Night Market. The page frames it as a thank-you weekend for Hong Kong Market Place, the family grocery that has been in DFW for 40 years. Shoppers, tenants, vendors, and neighbors are the named audience. That is anniversary energy, not a one-off pop-up.
The flyer sells vendors, live sets, and daily lion dances under a free-entry outdoor line. Treat that as the shape they want you to picture. It still does not print Friday, Saturday, or Sunday open and close times. Do not borrow last year's clock. Phone the plaza at 972-975-5100 or watch asiatimessquare.com the week of.
Vendor applications sit on the ATS site. Sponsor and performer mail is support@asiatimessquare.com. The flyer also points to a Linktree under Asia Times Square if you want the social stack, but the dated listing is the page above.
Asia Times Square is the Grand Prairie campus that also runs Mid-Autumn on the same Pioneer Parkway blocks. That is useful for traffic memory, not for copying hours. NightMKT is its own card. The grocery thank-you is the angle. The Mid-Autumn crowds are only a clue that this lot fills when ATS puts a free outdoor weekend on the calendar.
Pioneer Parkway is a plaza parking lot west of downtown Dallas, closer to Arlington and Grand Prairie shopping than to Deep Ellum. Drive. Give yourself time after 6 when the lot packs. Free parking is the Mid-Autumn habit on this campus; NightMKT has not restated a parking line on the 2026 card, so plan for a full lot rather than a shuttle.
The same Saturday, October 24, is Southlake DiwaliFest from 3:00 to 10:00 p.m. on Town Square and the already-live Dallas Festival of Lights card. You cannot stack Grand Prairie and Southlake after dark without choosing. ATS is the night-market aisle. Southlake is the civic lawn. McKinney's Asian art and food weekend is already earlier in October if you are stacking Collin County first.
Who this is for: Grand Prairie and Arlington families who already shop Hong Kong Market Place and want a free plaza weekend. Skip it if you need a printed hour tonight. Skip it if your only free Saturday is locked to Southlake.
Our take: Saturday if you can only come once, once hours land. Confirm the clock before you leave. The 40th year is the story. The missing open time is the catch.
When: October 23–25, 2026 (hours not posted; free)
Where: Asia Times Square, 2615–2625 W Pioneer Pkwy, Grand Prairie, TX 75051
