Organizers cited dwindling profits and increased costs as the main reasons behind this year's cancellation.

SEATTLE — It’s the end of the road for an institution in Seattle’s Chinatown International District. Officials announced this week they have canceled the popular CID Night Market, citing dwindling profits and increased costs.Chinatown-International District Business Improvement Area

In a Facebook post, CIDBIA stated, “We rely entirely on corporate sponsorships and booth sales to pay for these events… Profits from these events pay for the CIDBIA’s other initiatives such as district-wide sanitation, public safety, and marketing for small businesses. In the past few years, we have made little to no profit on these events; however, we have continued to produce them for the benefit of the neighborhood. Unfortunately, we are no longer able to do this.
