The Little Mekong Night Market, presented by AEDA, is an annual cultural event located on University Ave. and Internaitonal Plaza in St. Paul. It seeks to encourage cultural diversity and economic growth in the Twin Cities by hosting information booths, performances, art, food, activities, and history about the Little Mekong area and its local businesses. This year, the event is hosted on July 23rd and July 24th. There are many volunteering opportunities available. Orientation dates start on July 19th. We gift our volunteers with $10.00. food vouchers and free t-shirts. If interested in volunteering, please contact Alvin Kim, our Volunteer Coordinator at ask@littlemekong.com.
