The Chinatown–International District Night Market (or simply CID Night Market) is an annual night market in Seattle's Chinatown–International District (CID), in the U.S. state of Washington.

The night market was established in 2006.[3] The 2020 event was cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[4] It went on a hiatus in 2023.[5][6][7] In 2024, Amazon donated $250,000 to fund the night market through 2026.[8][9]
