To appreciate the immense support 626 Night Market has received over the years, organizers are allowing people to go in for free, though visitors will still need to have a ticket to attend.
Tickets can be found on the 626 Night Market website. It will be the general admission ticket and it will only be valid for a single entry on the day selected. However, entry is not guaranteed. It all depends on whether the event is at capacity or not.
Visitors also have the chance to purchase VIP admission tickets for $20, plus a fee. The VIP ticket gives visitors express entry to enter the event and the bar line. The ticket also includes one drink of choice; it can be alcoholic or non-alcoholic. A government issued ID will be needed for alcoholic drinks.
Tickets are limited, so be sure to check out the website before they run out.
The event will take place at 1324 E 5th Street, Santa Monica. It will be starting at 1 p.m. and finishing at 10 p.m. both days.
If visitors cannot make it to the event this weekend, they will still have a chance to attend one of the four upcoming weekends at Santa Monica.
The upcoming dates are:
- April 15-16
- April 29-30
