Echo Park Rising

A free, all-ages music and comedy festival that celebrates L.A.’s vibrant Eastside—what’s not to like? Now in its 15th year, Echo Park Rising is a one-day fest featuring dozens of performances from handpicked local up-and-coming bands and comedians. With Echo Park venues ranging from the Echo, Echoplex and Stories Books & Cafe to the Semi-Tropic, P.F. Candle Co. and Lowboy, as well as various special discounts and sales at local businesses, this is always a neighborhood affair not to be missed. Get the party started early with pre-festival family-friendly festivities at the Echo Park Farmers’ Market Friday at 3pm.
