Echo Park Rising From Sunset Junction's Ashes

The second annual festival celebrates the hottest small businesses of Echo Park and Silver Lake. The music roster is also not to be missed!

Enjoy the eastside of Los Angeles at the 2nd Echo Park Rising Festival Saturday, August 25 from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. the next morning.

Last year it was an improvised event, put together with the remnants of the just-cancelled Sunset Junction Street Fair.

This year, it's a well-planned bash, with 65 bands, DJs and performers to appear on 9 stages, including the mainstage in the Taix parking lot.
