626 Night Market Costa Mesa 2026 weekend
626 Night Market's 2026 Orange County weekend ran May 29–31 at OC Fair & Event Center in Costa Mesa with Asian street food, merch, and live performances. The organizer's next SoCal stop is August 14–16 at Santa Anita Park.
This event has ended
626 Night Market, the large-scale Asian night market founded in the San Gabriel Valley in 2012, held its 2026 Orange County weekend at OC Fair & Event Center (88 Fair Drive, Costa Mesa) on May 29–31. The OC Fair listing scheduled the market Friday through Sunday, 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on the OC Promenade in Lots I and G.
What to expect
The Costa Mesa edition packs 200+ food, merchandise, craft, and entertainment vendors into the fairgrounds, the same scale the organizer brings to Santa Anita Park and the Alameda County Fairgrounds. Expect late-night crowd energy, live performances, and lines at viral food stalls. Comfortable shoes and an early arrival help if you want shorter waits at the most photographed booths.
Most vendors operate cash-first; on-site ATMs are typically available. The market is built for families, groups, and anyone who treats night-market season as a summer ritual rather than a one-off food fair.
Tickets and parking
- General admission: $6, sold online in advance
- Children 5 and under: free
- Parking: $15 in Lots A, B, and C via Fair Drive (Gate 1)
Ticket and parking details for future Costa Mesa weekends are published on 626nightmarket.com and the OC Fair events calendar.
2026 California schedule
The organizer's official 2026 calendar lists three additional weekends:
| Weekend | Dates | Location |
