Chinatown Arts Week opens with the last Chinatown Nights event of the year. T!C’s night market of art and food vendors will feature a bilingual performance by saxophonist and vocalist Stephanie Chou, with special guests. Chou’s music combines classical and Chinese influences with Western jazz and pop to create an entirely original, unique musical world with fresh takes on Chinese folk songs, Mandarin tongue twisters, and more.
Food and art vendors open for business at 8 p.m. and Stephanie’s performance starts at 8:30 p.m.
Go to our Chinatown Nights page for all the details of our food & art vendors. The event is free, but please support us by getting a ticket!
