Smorgasburg Los Angeles at ROW DTLA

Sunday in Downtown Los Angeles has a clear answer to the question of where to eat: Smorgasburg, the open-air food market at ROW DTLA. If you are sorting through things to do in Los Angeles for the weekend, this is the easy yes. You wander, you graze, and nobody needs a reservation.

When: Sundays, starting November 8, 2026, from 10 AM to 4 PM (hours as listed by Mommy Poppins; the start time is not confirmed by the organizer, so check before you go) Where: ROW DTLA, Downtown Los Angeles Price: Free entry; food and goods are paid for at each stall

What to expect

Smorgasburg LA is a weekly market for food, design, vintage and events. Dozens of food vendors set up each Sunday, and alongside them you will find stalls from the worlds of craft, style, vintage and wellness. Cultural events, pop-ups and other surprises rotate through the market mix, so a return visit rarely looks the same twice.

The format rewards a slow lap. Walk the whole market once before you buy anything, then circle back for the stall with the longest line or the dish you could not stop thinking about. Sharing plates is the best way to taste more of it, and the shopping stalls give you somewhere to go while a friend waits in line.

Good for families

The listing comes from a family-activity calendar and marks the market as all ages. Entry is free, the layout is open, and the variety makes it easier to please a table with different tastes. Strollers and a picky eater both have an easy time here. Dates and times are subject to change, so confirm on the market's own channels before heading out.

Getting there

ROW DTLA sits at 777 South Alameda Street in the Arts District side of Downtown. The market has on-site parking, and the listing says visitors can park free for two hours. That is enough for a lap and a meal, but a longer browse may mean paying for extra time, so keep an eye on the clock.

The market is listed for eight Sundays, from November 8 through December 27, 2026. That makes it a dependable plan for LA events this weekend and for the weeks after, and a good anchor if you like to build a day around one stop.

Plan your visit

Bring cash and a card, since small vendors vary. Arrive early for the shortest lines, or later in the afternoon if you would rather skip the morning rush. Wear comfortable shoes, because the best way through the market is on foot.
