KTOWN Night Market 2026 — Los Angeles Koreatown

Two nights a year, the parking lot behind Robert F. Kennedy Community Schools becomes the closest thing Los Angeles has to walking through a night market in Seoul. KTOWN Night Market packs over 100 food and merchandise vendors into a single city block in Koreatown, and the result is the kind of controlled chaos that makes you forget you are standing in Mid-Wilshire. Korean fried chicken, bingsoo piled high enough to photograph, fusion tacos that should not work but do, and a merchandise row where every other booth is selling something you did not know you needed. Live performances from local and international artists fill the gaps between eating. The crowd is the thing — Korean-American families, college students from USC and UCLA, food bloggers with cameras bigger than their plates, and people who drove from the Valley because someone texted them you HAVE to come. General admission is six dollars online presale and covers both nights. Kids 3 and under free. This is the event that the Korean-American community in LA built for itself, and the rest of the city showed up because the food was too good to ignore.
