Thanks to consistently nice weather, beautiful views, and friendly residents from all around the globe, there is definitely no shortage of street festivals in Los Angeles. A melting pot of different cultures and diverse communities, it’s easy to become overwhelmed with the city’s numerous neighborhood festivals. Even though there are popular events that everyone talks about throughout the year, we wanted to focus on the smaller, more neighborhood-centric festivals. Although smaller in scale, you can still enjoy the perks that a larger festival would offer such as music, dancing, fun activities, and delicious eats. However, you also get the chance to celebrate the neighborhood’s ancestry, identity, and tradition. Below you will find our guide to LA’s most memorable street festivals from now until December.
