A star-studded line up for summer.…
Night Market at The Bungalow Santa Monica returns this summer to The Fairmont Miramar Hotel with an exciting new lineup. Get ready to experience the ultimate foodie event of the summer with new 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 kicks off Thursday, June 6, and will run every Thursday from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. through August 29.
On the second Thursday of each month, local rescue organization Wags & Walks will host an on-site meet & greet for its family of adoptable dogs rescued from local shelters. Over the last two years of Night Market’s partnership with Wags & Walks, there have been a handful of dogs that have been adopted and placed in their forever homes.
“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.”
