Modeled after street markets and bazaars in Asia, the 626
Night Market will be returning for its fifth season this July at the Santa
Anita Race Track in Arcadia, California. “626” refers to the area code of the
San Gabriel Valley, which houses a notable cluster of Asian ethnoburbs and is
also widely known as Los Angeles’s Asian Food Mecca. Since its debut in April
2012, the market has drawn an impressive average of 50,000 people in foot
traffic.
From traditional street snacks such as stinky tofu and boba,
to innovative fusion options like Ramen burgers and Kimchi tacos, the 626 night
market hosts hundreds of vendors, offering various kinds of Asian street snacks
and even Asian inspired merchandises and crafts.
Initially started as an event to empower the Asian community
by providing a platform for local businesses, this family-friendly weekend spectacular
has now become a way to bridge cultural and language barriers thanks to a
growing interest in Asian cuisine.
