Fields Corner's Vietnamese business district closes Dorchester Avenue each July for a night market of street food, artisan vendors, games, and live entertainment organized by Boston Little Saigon. The event grew out of the neighborhood's Vietnamese community and has become a summer draw for the wider city. It runs from late afternoon into the evening along Dorchester Avenue and Town Field Park.
