Taco/Ramen/ Pacific Festival // Echo Park Rising

Eating.

We all like to do it. 

Some #skeezies may even eat 3 times a day. 

Today you are in luck. There's a Taco and Ramen festival going on for all you hungry folks. Not at the same place, although here in LA it's not uncommon to see one restaurant serve menudo and teriyaki chicken--can't even make this stuff up. 

Anyway the Taco Festival is going on in Boyle Heights at the Mariachi Plaza. Yumm. Get there at 2pm and take an appetite.

The Ramen Festival is being held in Little Tokyo behind the  Japanese American National Museum in the parking lots. This starts at 11am so if you're a true foodie, this will probably be your  first pitstop before heading to Taco Fest. 

Just a heads up all ramen is $8 a bowl. 

#Skeezies may have a food coma after two food festivals but what better way to spend the rest of the day than to walk it off at the Pacific Festival or Echo Park Rising. #LAskeez mentioned Echo Park Rising yesterday so let's tell you a little bit about the Pacific Festival first. 

It's in Newport. 

About $35+ a ticket, the line up is solid AND there will be a guaranteed breathtaking sunset by the beach.

Pacific Festival Set Times

Missed De Lux at Echo Park Rising yesterday? No worries they will be over at the Pacific Fest too!

OK still rising is the Echo Park Rising festival! Day 1 was a blast and Day 2 should be nothing short of great FREE fun. 

Walk around and check out local stores/bar/restaurants/venues/bands.

This is the closest thing LA has to South By SouthWest!

Echo Park Rising 2014

There's some good shows going on like Grouplove & Portugal The Man along with Tokyo Police Club all at the Greek Theatre TONIGHT. 

#LAskeez always keeps it real for you #skeezies and this weekend you shouldn't have to spend a single penny to participate and watch some good shows. 

Here's why...

Echo Park Rising 2014. 

All the bands you see on the line-up, you can see for FREE this weekend in Echo Park. All-Ages and in-outs are OK!

This is the fourth year Echo Park teams up with multiple venues/restaurants/bars--throws a few bands in there through out the night and BAM--Echo Park Rising.  

If you're a little confused as to where to go here's a list of the venues and bands for today.

Allah-Las and Cherry Glazerr will be inside #LAskeez's favorite french restaurant Taix.

 The Dodgers are back in town and will be playing the Milwaukee Brewers all weekend so for those non LA residents coming into Echo Park, be mindful of the traffic. 

GO DODGERS!
