Thirsty Thursdays.…
Ahead of his ‘Malibu Tour’ kicking off this fall, Grammy Award winning artist Anderson .Paak, aka DJ Pee .Wee, stopped by Night Market at The Bungalow Santa Monica to enjoy some of his very own SelvaRey Rum cocktails and entertain the crowd.
Continuing the summer series with a special ticketed event, Night Market supported .Paak’s charity, .Paak House, raising just over $22K in proceeds.
Kicking the night off, .Paak surprised attendees by guest bartending inside The Bungalow serving mixed shots of his SelvaRey rum to lucky partygoers. Later in the evening, he took to the stage for a special vinyl dj set as DJ Pee .Wee where he hit the mic performing hits from Malibu.
During his set guests were vibing to songs like “Come Down, Am I Wrong,” and “Without You,” and the infamous Kendrick Lamar tune “Not Like Us” Hyping the crowd up, he directed a soul train line in the middle of the dance floor calling out dogs, breakdancers and all couples before wrapping the night with a drum solo.
Throughout the night guests enjoyed drinks from .Paak’s SelvaRey Rum cocktails, as well as Summer Water Rosé Pizzolato and Nosotros Mezcal. Locals, families and tourists alike were able to dine on beloved LA staples such as Tacos 1986, URBN Pizza, Fig/Soko, Bootsy’s BBQ and The Bungalow’s Streaming Burger, as well as sweets from Lei’d Cookies and Good Times Ice Cream.
Night Market at The Bungalow Santa Monica (a part of the The Fairmont Miramar Hotel) is the ultimate foodie event of the summer with standout food vendors, beverage activations, family-friendly activities, live musical and DJ performances, and celebrity guest appearances.
Free and open to the public for guests of all ages and pet friendly, The Bungalow’s Night Market will run every Thursday from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. through August 29.
“Every year, Night Market becomes an even more spectacular event with new food vendors, live music, great drinks, and surprise celebrity appearances,” says Brent Bolthouse, the creator of The Bungalow and Neon Carnival, “I want to bring people of all ages together, both local Angeleno’s and tourists alike, to enjoy each other’s company, celebrate and savor the best food LA has to offer. I’m excited for everyone to experience unforgettable summer nights with us at Night Market.”
