About

Chiang Rai's central market becomes a ten-day creative playground with installations, fashion, music, cultural parades and community activities. It is a compact way to see the city's contemporary creative scene alongside its everyday market culture.

Highlights

  • Art installations and performances inside an active city market
  • Fashion, music and cultural parades over two weekends
  • Community-led creative projects rooted in Chiang Rai

Plan it well

  1. Visit once by day for the market and again after dark for performances.
  2. Pair the festival with the Clock Tower and central Chiang Rai rather than treating it as a remote excursion.
  3. Use the official July calendar for programme updates.
