For dinner and a movie, all in one, just follow the food trucks. During the spring, summer and fall, Street Food Cinema throws together a series of outdoor parties that include screenings of some of our favorite movies, paired with an assortment of gourmet food trucks and even a live music performance from a cool local band. The screenings are held in venues across L.A. into October and alternate from week to week, so make sure to check the schedule. Some of the outdoor venues are dog-friendly, allowing you to bring your four-legged cinema lover along. See more of this season’s outdoor movie screenings in L.A.

Complex–sponsored food/music/streetwear mash-up Family Style Fest is back for 2026. This year's edition is earlier in the summer, to take advantage of the World Cup, and will move from Fairfax to L.A. State Historic Park. The festival will bring together high-profile apparel brands like Cherry LA, Undefeated, Pleasures, Adidas and Foot Locker alongside a handful of critically acclaimed L.A. restaurants, including Max & Helen’s, Kato, Kuya Lord, Damian, the Brother’s Sushi and Burgers Never Say Die. Swae Lee, Isaiah Rashad, The Alchemist, ESTA, Budgie and more artists will provide the soundtrack. Since this is a streetwear festival, expect tons of exclusive merch. A VIP ticket grants access to a separate section with complimentary food and drink stations, a VIP-only open bar and a special merch pack. For the full lineup, visit the FSF website. 

In celebration of the late Bob Baker’s legacy, his namesake puppet theater hosts this annual celebration at Los Angeles State Historic Park. The free fest and outdoor carnival features puppet performances throughout the day, plus an assortment of other entertainment, vendors, crafts and family-friendly activities. For the first time this year, there will be a doggie costume contest you can enter your pup into. Though it usually takes place in April, this year’s event has been pushed to September due to rain. Stay tuned for the grand marshal announcement and lineup of special guests.
