The 626 Night Market is inspired by Asia’s famous open-air nighttime bazaars, where people come together to eat, socialize, and be entertained. Established in 2012, the first large-scale night market in the U.S. is named after the 626-telephone area code region of San Gabriel Valley, northeast of Los Angeles. The festival features food, merchandise, crafts, artists, games, and live concerts, in an event that appeals to all ages.
