The Night Market at The Bungalow Santa Monica is set to return this summer at The Fairmont Miramar Hotel, featuring a fresh lineup of food vendors, beverage activations, family-friendly activities, live musical and DJ performances, and celebrity guest appearances. 

This free event, open to the public for guests of all ages and pet-friendly, kicks off on Thursday, June 6, and will run every Thursday from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. through August 29. Families can also enjoy a kids’ play area with complimentary face painting, alongside various brand activations, celebrity appearances, and DJ performances. 

Attendees can look forward to enjoying bites from popular local restaurants and food trucks under festoon lighting. Confirmed vendors include Tacos 1986, The Boiling Crab, Steamin’ Burger, House of Empanadas, URBN Pizza, The Lonely Oyster, Bootsy BBQ, Hustle N Dough, and Good Times Ice Cream. Beverage options will feature Los Angeles local beer Rancho West Beer, Lalo Tequila, Hendrick’s Gin, and more.

Local rescue organization Wags & Walks will host an on-site meet and greet with adoptable dogs from local shelters on the second Thursday of each month. Over the past two years, Night Market’s partnership with Wags & Walks has led to several adoptions.
