The parking lot outside the Fantastic Indoor Swap Meet filled with food vendors, pop-up tents and pickup trucks on a recent Saturday evening — many with sticker decals of the eight Hawaiian Islands on their rear windows.

Vendors and customers were at the Killah Kine Night Market, a monthly home away from home for Las Vegas’ Hawaiian community.

“Everything that is anything in Hawaii, we have,” said founder Terann Enriques. “When you come, you find all the island merch, all the Hawaiian stuff, all the Asian stuff that you don’t find when you go to the mall.”

Stalls at the night market, also known as Killah Kine Makeke, sold Hawaiian classics like spam musubi, shave ice, chicken katsu, poke and butter mochi, as well as jewelry, leis, swimwear and fragrances.

For Larissa Arcero, the founder of Blooming Batch, islander market events like Killah Kine mean “everything.”

Blooming Batch sells Asian-inspired sourdough goods, such as haupia cookies and ube bread loafs. Most of the business’ sales come from its Instagram @bloomingbatchlv, so having in-person events like these are essential.

“People get to meet other vendors and collaborate,” said Arcero. “It’s nice to get everyone together that’s part of the 808 community and show off our goods.”
