The highly anticipated KTOWN Night Market will be holding its inaugural festival on Friday, April 18th (4 PM – 12 AM) and Saturday, April 19th (2 PM – 12 AM) at the Robert F. Kennedy Community Schools in Los Angeles’ Koreatown and Carb and Nation will be there!
The outdoor event will be free to the public and will feature over 100 food and merchandise booths, including 40 food vendors that represent the full breadth of multi-ethnic street cuisine from Los Angeles and Orange County.
Leading up to the event, K-Town gave one truck the opportunity to fill the last spot in the event through a Facebook contest. After a heated battle between 4 Los Angeles food trucks, one truck came out victorious! Look for Carb and Nation at the KTown Night Market all weekend long and say congratulations while you’re at it.
