SPREAD THE LOVE.
Spread the love!
We expect these events to sell out.
This is a reminder to spread the love! If you are able to get tickets for one event, please consider letting someone else get tickets for other events. Or consider bringing a friend who has never been or rarely comes to Chinatown. We want to celebrate the neighbourhood with folks who already love and support Chinatown, but we also really want to reach Edmontonians who have never been or rarely come to Chinatown to experience the warmth and hospitality of Chinatown restaurants too.
In general, if tickets are still available 3 days before an event and you would still like to attend, regardless of if you’ve been before or not, then you’re welcome to snag your spot!
We would love to see return and familiar faces but ask you to be mindful of spreading the love and giving other people chances to join a Chinatown Chow Down event too. Thank you!
Remember you’re always welcome to dine in Chinatown outside of these events too!
We obviously aren’t able to include every restaurant in Chinatown in the project but we sure wish we could. Please consider spreading your love and dollars to restaurants not officially featured as well. We know they would sure appreciate the support!
