AINM Presents Around the World in the DTL!
September 9th (5pm-10pm) - 10th (2pm-10pm)
​Lawrenceville Lawn  |  
https://www.atlnightmarket.org/
The Atlanta International Night Market (AINM), a 501(c)3 nonprofit, was founded in 2016 by a group of friends from different backgrounds. All came from underrepresented communities and sought to share a more profound understanding of their cultures with the broader Atlanta community. The Atlanta International Night Market was born of a need to strengthen that awareness. With the event as a tapestry, the AINM team has woven cultural arts, education, and cuisine into a singular platform to both enrich and display the vibrant multicultural diversity that is Atlanta.
