Have you ever heard of the 626 Night Market or the OC Night Market? Well, if you haven’t they’re Asian inspired night markets in the LA area. There are tons of food and merchandise vendors, live music, and art. I have always wanted to go, but have never been able to. However, this year they have decided to start a night market in the bay area called the Norcal Night Market. It’s a perfect place to go with your friends or family! There will be two different weekends in which this event will be happening at the Alameda County Fairgrounds in Pleasanton, CA: July 27-29 or September 21-23. Here’s the food lineup (more vendors to be added):

If you’re looking for something to do in the Bay Area and are free during those weekends, you should definitely check the night market out. Enjoy eating, art, music, and shopping Friday-Sunday from 3pm-11pm. I would definitely go with an empty stomach and eat your way through the market. I hope you are as excited as I am!
