626 Night Market will return at the historic Santa Anita Park for three weekends this summer on July 18 & 19, August 15 & 16, September 12 & 13, 2014. Event hours are 4pm-1am. Parking will be free with admission of $3. Children 6 and under are free.
Each event will feature over 200 food, merchandise, crafts, arts, games, music, and entertainment attractions.
626 Night Market will continue to be a platform for showcasing local food entrepreneurs, businesses, artists, musicians, dancers, and filmmakers. In addition, this year’s events will include handmade crafts, science, and technology attractions to encompass all of the diverse interests of our communities.
626 Night Market’s theme for 2014 is “Dream Big.” “As a team of dreamers, we hope to unite the community and encourage everyone to dream big with us. We wish to empower people to use our event as a platform to launch their dreams, whether it be through testing out a business idea as a vendor, performing on our stage, showcasing his/her art, or being a part of one of our community projects,” says Aileen Xu, spokesperson of the 626 Night Market. 626 Night Market will be continuing its community projects such as the “World’s Largest Cup of Boba Tea,” Short Film Contest, and Screenwriting Contest, as well as introducing new “Dream Big” special projects to be announced later this year.
626 Night Market is now accepting vendor and performance artists applications. Lower vendor rates start at $98 per day. Top vendors gross over $10,000 per event. Last year’s attendance averaged over 50,000 per event.
