For our fourth year, the event is outdoors. We will have local food businesses and menu prices range from $5 - $17. We will also have a curated anime marketplace with local artists. Boba, desserts, and other Asian dishes will be available too. Parking is free in in the parking lot. We highly encourage carpooling or rideshare. Feel free to cosplay!

All food and drink is sold separately. All of the local businesses will be collecting their own sales. They do not offset the event production costs. Most vendors will accept both cash and card. We do recommend bringing cash for this event and coming with a group of your friends and families to try a little bit from everywhere! Event times will be staggered to improve flow of the event. You can stay as long as you like and ticket times are only for how early you can arrive.

Early admission - Please arrive at 11am

General admission - Please arrive between 12:30pm and 2:30pm

Happy hour admission - Please arrive at 2:30pm and until the end of the event

Refunds are unavailable if you miss your admission time. If you need to switch tickets for a different admission time, you can email us at aznomnomnoodles@gmail.com and we will accommodate if tickets are not sold out online. If you come as a group, you can try from more vendors and create your own picnic. Happy hour admission is at a discounted price and most items will be available from vendors.
