Little Mekong Night Market, located in the Asian business and cultural district in St. Paul, is back for a fifth year.

The food and arts event inspired by Southeast Asian night markets draws an estimated 15,000 people each year. It’s set to run from 5 p.m. to midnight Saturday and from 2 to 10 p.m. Sunday.

A section of Western Avenue, from Fuller to Charles avenues, will be closed for the market just off the Green Line’s Western Avenue stop.

At least 50 vendors will serve Asian fare and festival foods such as Bubble Tea, Japanese rice bowls, Thai beef salad and spicy tots.

The festival features arts, cultural performances, vendors, dance groups and musicians such as Dred I Dread, Stellar and Amanda Yang.
