Chinese New Year at Smorgasburg with Wok Star Eleanor Hoh

The Chinese New Year runs for 16 days beginning on Sunday, January 22nd through February 5th, and Smorgasburg Miami, Miami’s largest outdoor-food market will transform into a Chinese outdoor street food Market to celebrate the Year of the Rabbit.

In partnership with local food personality and popular cooking class instructor, Wok Star Eleanor Hoh, Smorgasburg Miami will host their inaugural Chinese New Year on Saturday, January 21, 12-9 pm, and Sunday, January 22, 12-7 pm.

The weekend celebrations will honor Chinese culture and art with live performances and activities featuring Lion Dance Troupe, a pop music Taiwanese violinist, Calligraphy and art classes for kids and adults by Ms Dans Chinese, and roaming interactive Chinese horoscope actors.

Resembling an outdoor Asian street-food market, Smorgasburg Miami will be decorated with red lanterns, paper umbrellas and origami cranes giving a Chinese New Year festive look.

On the culinary side, the over 60 vendors will showcase special dishes highlighting different Asian cuisines that will only be available during this two-day CNY celebration.

Smorgasburg also welcomes Kome Oyster and Sushi Bar as a guest vendor serving a special dish for the Chinese Market celebrations.
