They also have around 50 non-food vendors selling paintings, anime-themed clothing and hand-crafted jewelry.

The festival features live entertainment with DJ’s and local artists. There are water balling activities in a staged pool and double stacked bungee jumping activities for adults and kids.

Outside of the food festival, which only happens in the summer, the event promoters, FoodieLand and 626 Night Market, have events throughout California year-round.

626 Night Market’s next event will be in Pleasanton from July 26 to 28.

Bring your dynamic cravings and bottomless appetites to the next food festival that will be returning to a Bay Area fairground venue near you.
