The third and largest 626 Night Market is set to take place over two days this weekend at the Santa Anita Park racecourse infield. 

Previously held in Pasadena, the newly expanded and highly-anticipated event will feature 150 local businesses and entrepreneurs.

If the unique foods from the first event are any indication, attending the event this weekend will surely be a delicious endeavor.

In addition to food and vendor booths, there will also be interesting activities such as sumo wrestling, a pumpkin patch, a straw maze and pony rides for kids, plus a movie screening lawn, DJ and dance floor, to name a few attractions.

There will also be plenty of freebies such as free tofu in exchange for Tweets.

It seems that the logistics have been improved upon from the first ever 626 Night Market held earlier this year.

Over the course of two days, this admission-free event is likely to be a huge hit with people from all over the Southland.

 

626 Night Market details:

When: October 20th & 21st, 2012

Saturday: 3 p.m. to 1 a.m.

Sunday: 3 p.m. to 11 p.m.

 

Where: Santa Anita Park infield - 285 W. Huntington Drive Arcadia, CA 91007 (Enter through Gate 5 or 6 off Colorado Place)

 

Tip: Arrive between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. for $4 parking (after that it's $7) and free horse racing. The first 1,000 adults receive free $2 betting vouchers. There will also be one winner of a $500 voucher each day.
