First Friday Food Truck Fest

On the first Friday of every month, Venice's Abbot Kinney Boulevard turns into one of LA's tastiest street parties. The First Friday Food Truck Fest brings about two dozen of the city's best food trucks to the boulevard, serving everything from inventive global flavors to classic comfort food.

Families can graze their way down the mile-long strip, split a few dishes and finish with something sweet. Local shops join the fun with special merchant events and extended hours, so you can browse Abbot Kinney's boutiques and galleries between bites.

Trucks set up at assigned spots, and the organizers post the lineup each month. Come early with little ones, since the boulevard gets busier as the evening goes on.
