626 Night Market

Billed as the original Asian night market in the U.S., this sprawling after-dark food festival fills the Santa Anita Park lots with hundreds of vendors slinging Taiwanese, Japanese, Korean, Filipino and fusion street food under string lights. Beyond food there are handmade-craft stalls and live performances, and it runs late into the night, 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. across a weekend. It only lands in Arcadia on a handful of weekends each summer.

The move: Show up hungry on a summer weekend night and graze your way across dozens of food stalls hand-in-hand until 11.

📍 Before you go Ticketed entry and only on specific weekends (2026 Arcadia dates include June 19-21 and Aug 14-16, 3-11 p.m.). Bring cash; it gets crowded and lines for popular stalls are long.
