Is there a night market in Los Angeles tonight?
If tonight is a Friday, Saturday or Sunday, yes: Imperial Night Market is open in Downtown LA. Here are the days, the hours and what to know before you leave.
Is Imperial Night Market open tonight?
Imperial Night Market is open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings only. It is not open Monday through Thursday. If tonight is a Friday, Saturday or Sunday, the market is on. On any other day, the next market is the coming Friday evening.
Friday hours are 6:30 to 10:30 pm. Saturday and Sunday hours are 5:00 to 10:30 pm. Hours can shift slightly, and the lineup changes by night.
Night market this weekend
The weekend schedule is the same every week: Friday from 6:30 pm, then Saturday and Sunday from 5:00 pm, all closing at 10:30 pm. Entry is free, and there are no tickets or reservations. You pay only for the food and drinks you choose.
Each dish is available when a vendor is serving it, so what is out on Friday may differ from Sunday. See what to eat for the kinds of dishes to look for.
What time should I arrive?
The market fills up in the evening. The full lineup is out about an hour after opening, and waits are shorter near opening time. Arriving in the first hour is the easiest way to try more.
What if the weather turns?
The market is open air. Light sprinkles usually do not stop it, but heavy rain or high wind may pause it. Updates are posted on Instagram @imperial_night_market.
