STC Asian Night Market at Scarborough Town Centre 2026
STC Asian Night Market lands at Scarborough Town Centre August 7–9, 2026 with Asian street food, vendors, music, and evening hours as part of the Ontario Asian Night Market Series. Admission is free.
This event has ended
The STC Asian Night Market runs Friday, August 7 through Sunday, August 9, 2026 at Scarborough Town Centre, 300 Borough Drive. Listed hours are Friday 5:00–11:00 p.m. and Saturday–Sunday noon–11:00 p.m. Admission is free under the Ontario Asian Night Market Series.
Organizers pitch mall-adjacent street food, merchandise, cultural showcases, music, and night-market lighting for GTA planners who want an east-of-downtown footprint. Expect parking-lot energy and food lines once the evening crowd hits; confirm any indoor versus outdoor footprint notes on nightmarkets.ca closer to the weekend.
The series sits after Toronto Chinatown Festival and ahead of Toronto Waterfront Night Market later in August if you are stacking GTA night-market nights.
When: August 7–9, 2026
Where: Scarborough Town Centre, 300 Borough Drive, Scarborough, ON
Confirm vendor lists and volunteer notes on the official series page. TTC to STC beats circling the lot once Friday night fills.
Our take
Scarborough finally has a dated summer night-market stop that is not downtown-only. Go Friday evening if you want the lighting pitch; Saturday afternoon is easier with kids. Budget for food cash and treat the mall as your weather backup, not the reason you came.
