With summer winding down,<\/a> Los Angeles still has a few weeks left to squeeze in outdoor events before the season officially gives way to fall. From open-air concerts<\/a> to water parks,<\/a> late August and early September are bringing some of the last big things to do of the season, and one of them is taking over an entire L.A. neighborhood.<\/p>\n Echo Park Rising returns this weekend<\/p>\n 2026 marks the festival\u2019s 16th year, taking over Echo Park on Saturday, August 29, and Sunday, August 30. The free, all-ages festival brings music, art, comedy, and family-friendly<\/a> programming to venues and businesses throughout the neighborhood. No tickets or reservations are required.<\/p>\n Rather than taking place at one central festival ground, the event spreads across dozens of local venues and businesses. Some participating locations include:<\/p>\n The Echo<\/p>\n Echoplex<\/p>\n Echo Park Tennis Courts<\/p>\n Lowboy<\/p>\n Majic Factory<\/p>\n P.F. Candle Co.<\/p>\n Raven\u2019s Gallery<\/p>\n Ravine Club<\/p>\n Sick City Records<\/p>\n Sticky Rice<\/p>\n Cantiq Los Angeles<\/p>\n More than 50 artists are on the lineup<\/p>\n The weekend features more than 50 artists, including Indigo De Souza, The Aquadolls, Uffie, Telescreens, Primer, Ryan Pollie, The Sophs, Sugar Pit, Valley Boy and Drelli. Visitors can also catch art installations,<\/a> comedy and family-friendly programming throughout the festival.<\/p>\n On Saturday morning, the Echo Park Tennis Courts will host a free tennis session from 8 to 10 a.m., with coaches, drills and racquets available. Participating restaurants and bars will offer specials, brunches, DJ sets and pop-ups, while the Echo Park Farmers\u2019 Market<\/a> will host a Friday, August 28 kickoff with live music starting at 4:30 p.m.<\/p>\n Echo Park Rising originally grew out of an impromptu street fair celebrating local artists and businesses before becoming an annual showcase of L.A.\u2019s creative community. This year also marks the festival\u2019s first return to a full two-day format since the pandemic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Courtesy of Echo Park Rising.
