“The return of the Night Market in Culver City showcases the strength, endurance and creative spirit of the AANHPI community. Our event partners are excited to share their delicious food, creative talents, diverse culture, and valuable services with the Los Angeles community,” Founder of Culver City High School AANHPI Parent Affinity and President of the Culver City School Board of Education Stephanie Loredo said.

“It’s important to honor and celebrate diverse populations in Los Angeles County. Last year’s healthy attendance affirms that our community is enthusiastic about making space for AANHPI culture and identity. Celebrations like this in the Culver City Unified School District uplifts all our youth by providing them with a sense of belonging – making LA’s westside a more desirable place to study, work, play, and live.”
