Asian American Expo 2027 runs Saturday–Sunday, January 16–17, at Pomona Fairplex, with both days listed 10:00 a.m.–7:00 p.m. Hall 4 is the main information hub on current visitor FAQs. A week later, Monterey Park stages its free Downtown Garvey Avenue Lunar New Year festival. Same season, different logistics: paid Fairplex halls and parking here; street closures and shuttle lots there.
Who should cross for this
Chinese and broader Asian American communities, families, Lunar New Year shoppers, and visitors willing to go inland for a fairgrounds weekend.
The expo is a large diaspora marketplace timed to Lunar New Year season, drawing regional Asian American audiences and vendors into Pomona.
Suggested trip length: 2 nights near Pomona or the San Gabriel Valley if combining with other LNY weekends
Tickets, infants, and separate Impulse halls
Buy through the official Eventim link from asianamericanexpo.com. Displayed 2-day totals near the mid-$30s should be verified at checkout. Ticket terms allow one infant under 3 free with each paying adult and disallow same-ticket reuse across days without handstamp rules for same-day re-entry.
ANIME Impulse in Halls 9–10 is separate inventory—read product titles carefully.
Parking is part of the budget
Official visitor notes list Gate 17 parking at $21 with trams to the entrance. That fee sits outside the Eventim ticket. Carpooling or Metrolink-plus-bus cuts cost on peak Sunday midday.
Inland Empire, not a Downtown shortcut
From LAX, expect significant ground time to Pomona; Ontario Airport (ONT) is often better when flights align. If January also includes Monterey Park’s January 23–24 street festival, treat them as two parking plans—not one continuous Downtown LA weekend.
