DS Night Market - Come Outside!

DS NIGHT MARKET — COME OUTSIDE. ❤️ Come outside. Take a deep breath. Get out of your routine for a few hours. 🍜 Try something you’ve never ordered before. Steal a bite from your friend’s plate. Listen to music you didn’t know existed. Sing the song you secretly know every word to. Watch your kids dance with ravers. Bring something good home for the family. Sometimes you don’t need a reason to go out. You just need to go. DS Night Market is our little weekend gathering in the middle of Chinatown. We started in 2024 with food tents, friends, music, and the hope that people would show up. Somehow, you did. And you kept coming back. ❤️ EVERY WEEKEND IS DIFFERENT 🎧 FRIDAY — DJs, electronic music, dancing, food, and entertainment you didn’t know you needed. 🎶 SATURDAY — Live music, local artists, good food, families, friends, and whatever surprise the night brings. 🏃🎤 SUNDAY — Run a 5K with DS Run Club, eat afterward, then grab the mic for open karaoke. You don’t need to be a runner. You definitely don’t need to be a singer. Just participate in life a little. And we’ll tell you the truth: Keeping a small night market alive right now isn’t easy. We’ve been fighting the economy, slow weekends, rising costs, weather, and everything that comes with building something independent. We don’t know how long we get to do this. So we treat every weekend a little differently. If you’ve never been here, let this be your first. And every time you come back, enjoy it like it could be the last. Bring your friends. Bring your family. Bring someone who’s been sitting at home too much. Eat something good. Be a little weird. Dance badly. Sing loudly. Meet people. Take some food home. 🏮 And most importantly, enjoy Chinatown with respect. Every meal and every night spent here supports small vendors, artists, musicians, workers, and a neighborhood we love. Thank you for keeping this little thing alive with us. ❤️ 📍 Chinatown Central Plaza 932 Mei Ling Way, Los Angeles, CA 90012 ⏰ Friday & Saturday: 5–11 PM Sunday: 4–10 PM Free admission. Come as you are. Come outside. Chinatown is still here. === PARKING GUIDELINE === We made you a DS Night Market parking cheat sheet so you can stop stressing and start eating 👇 🚇 Easiest move: Take the Metro A Line to Chinatown Station Walk straight to the market. Zero drama. 🅿️ Parking options nearby: 💚 FREE — Street meters + residential, usually 1–2 blocks walk 💛 $3 — 215 W College St after 6 PM 💙 $5 — 767 N Hill St / 978 N Broadway 🧡 $7 — 850 N Broadway 🤍 Around $10 — 941 N Broadway / 942 N Broadway / 424 W College St 💙 Around $20 — 419 W College St, premium close option ⚠️ Prices may change during Chinatown events, so please check signs before leaving your car.
