Food & Drink626 Night Market
Ticketed

Food trucks park along Abbot Kinney Boulevard in Venice on the first Friday of every month, starting at 5 p.m. The boulevard's merchant association vets and invites the trucks and gives each one an assigned spot. It posts that month's list on its website, and the line-up rotates. Recent nights have run until 9:30 p.m. with more than a dozen trucks, and some shops hold special events and stay open late. The organizers ask people not to take a table at one of the boulevard's restaurants unless they are eating there, and to clear away their own trash. Portable restrooms have been set up on Palms Boulevard and at California Avenue.
