626 Night Market

The original U.S. Asian night market’s August Arcadia run ended Sunday: 250-plus food and retail vendors at 285 West Huntington Drive. Tickets are online only — none at the gate. Sunday’s stage lists Labit. Yesterday’s brief left this off because we had not pulled a primary page; the organizer’s August Arcadia page loaded this morning.
