Roscoe’s House of Chicken N’ Waffles is marking its 50th anniversary with a free, all-day waterfront festival that honors the city of Angels.
The “Thank You, LA” Festival will take place Saturday, Oct. 11, 2025, at Shoreline Aquatic Park in Long Beach, featuring live music, comedy, food, art, and family fun. The event runs from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Performers include the 1500 or Nothin Band, The Sainted Trap Choir, Azar Lawrence, Henri “Southside Slim” Harris, Soul Sauce, Stefan Benz, Ashley Imani, Dalby, BLNDE, Kayla Brianna, and Mariachi Rams.
The festival will be hosted by comedian Scruncho and feature DJ sets by DJ Carisma, SoulTherapy, DJ QwessCoast, and DJ Aye Jaye.
Guests can also enjoy food from Roscoe’s, Marathon Burger, and other local eateries.
Live art zones, classic lowriders, and a family-friendly KidZone hosted by Chris Brown’s daughter, Royalty Brown, will also be available for visitors.
Members of the Los Angeles Rams Cheer Team, mascot Rampage, and the Rams coaching staff will also make special appearances.
The Golden Waffle Awards will honor icons such as Snoop Dogg, Big Boy, and Stevie Wonder for their contributions to culture and community.
Roscoe’s founder, Herb Hudson, will also be honored for his five decades of service to Los Angeles.
“Los Angeles gave me a dream and a community that believed in it,” Hudson said in a statement. “This festival is our way of lifting up the city that lifted us. For five decades, Roscoe’s has been blessed by the love of Angelenos — from neighbors to legends — and it’s only right that we give that love back. We honor those who’ve walked with us, and we celebrate the city that made Roscoe’s part of its family. The next 50 years start with LA.”
Roscoe’s House of Chicken N’ Waffles has locations in Hollywood, South LA, Long Beach, Inglewood, Anaheim, and La Brea. The chain said it plans to open more locations soon.
