Mile High Asian Food Week kicks off this weekend, with more than 80 food and beverage vendors across Denver and the Front Range offering discounts and specialty menus.

Why it matters: The weeklong celebration supports local Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander businesses. The event also coincides with the beginning of AANHPI Heritage Month.

Zoom in: There are plenty of events, specials and pop-ups to peruse.

• Restaurants running specials the whole week include Hop Alley, Nana's Dim Sum & Dumplings, Magna Kainan and Yuan Wonton, to name a few.

Some one-night events not to miss:

• Little Ogre Bar pops up at RiNo's Block Distilling Co. on Sunday
• Nearly a dozen vendors take over ADOBO, the Latin-Asian fusion eatery on Federal, on Monday
• MAKfam hosts a "Tangra Takeover" with Chaatwala — a City Park Farmers Market staple serving Indian street food — next Thursday.

What they're saying: Chefs "can showcase specialty dishes that they've always wanted to try, collaborate with other businesses and restaurants, or add a fun twist to their standard fare," event founder Joanne Liu said in a statement.

If you go: The celebration runs through May 3.
