“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.”
