Our story

Gatito Night Market was created by siblings Nico and Wendy, with the support of their family.

Inspired by a blend of cultures and the night markets of California, they set out to build a multicultural night market like no other. The name Gatito is a nod to El Gato in California.

The goal is simple: a place where the community comes together, supports small businesses, and has a great time. Come meet new people, spend time with family and friends, and help local entrepreneurs grow right here at home.
