FoodieLand Night Market Tickets: Purchase your single-day general admission ticket for $5, or upgrade to a three-day general admission pass for $10. 

This Asian night market is full of surprises—including fruity drinks served in giant bottles from Berkeley’s Big Baby Bottle, savory buffalo-chicken bubble waffle cones from Sacramento’s Bubble Cone, and sesame soft-serve in a Taiyaki cone from Berkeley’s Uji Time Dessert—along with plenty of staples (such as vegetarian lumpia from Oakland’s The Lumpia Company and musubi from the Bay Area food truck Fire and Rice) that make it worth the trip. 

But you might want to show up fashionably late—Bay Area foodies are known to show up early with tickets in hand. Walk around the vendors’ booths between courses, and make sure to come hungry because there’s too much delicious California-crafted food you won’t want to miss out on.
