The second annual Los Angeles Times Night Market is taking place this weekend. Participants can sample some of the city’s best food produced by restaurants and food trucks and restaurants under the glow of City Hall. There will also be drinks and plenty of music. (Think of the bustling outdoor food market with 50 diverse vendors as a love letter to the L.A. food scene.) This year, there will be a program of events with special chef collaborations and demonstrations, DJs and music performances, light projections and entertainment stages, and an Outstanding in the Field long-table Filipino feast on opening night. The event is free, but you can purchase tickets to the Supermarket Area that allow access to curated food vendors, additional seating areas and food booths, bars, premium lounges and entertainment.
