DEL MAR, Calif. — A foodie-inspired night market is taking over Del Mar Fairgrounds this weekend.

Foodieland, which mirrors Asia’s famous open-air bazaars, started in Berkeley, California back in 2019. It’s now become a reoccurring event series across multiple cities due to its popularity.

As described by event organizers, “it’s a space to connect with family, friends and community over a unique food experience.”
