If instant ramen has a permanent spot in your pantry, you’ll want to make a detour to FoodieLand Pasadena this Independence Day weekend.
From July 3–5, Maruchan is taking over part of FoodieLand Pasadena with an immersive pop-up called MaruMart. Inspired by Japanese convenience stores, the experience features exclusive merchandise, interactive photo ops, and plenty of ramen.
What can you experience at MaruMart?
One of the biggest attractions is the giant inflatable ramen tunnel, where guests can literally walk through a larger-than-life bowl of noodles before stepping into the activation.
Inside MaruMart, visitors will find a Japanese convenience store-inspired retail space stocked with:
- Exclusive Maruchan merchandise
- Ramen favorites
- Limited-edition collectibles
- Claw machines with fun giveaways
Plus, guests will find plenty of colorful backdrops and immersive installations made for photos and videos.
What can you eat?
Foodies won’t leave hungry. Maruchan will be serving free samples of three Saucy Noods ramen flavors. Visitors have a chance to taste the brand’s newest offerings.
Fans can also purchase Maruchan Loca, the brand’s collaboration with Flamin’ Hot, available exclusively at the activation while supplies last.
Beyond the pop-up itself, FoodieLand Pasadena features dozens of food vendors serving everything from international street food and barbecue to desserts, drinks, and festival favorites.
