Hey, foodies: get your stretchy pants ready. The fifth annual LA Street Food Fest is making its way to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena on June 28.
The way it works is that you pay $55 for a general admission ticket and you get to sample from nearly 100 vendors from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Think of it as an all-you-can-eat-and-drink fest with savory food, coffee, desserts, cocktails, beer, wine and even a tequila tasting tent. (VIP ticket holders get to start grubbing early from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. for $80 a pop.)
There will be food trucks, old school street carts, and vendors from celebrity chefs and pop-up shops. Some notable folks on the food lineup include Badmaash, Cliff's Edge featuring Matt Biancianello, Dog Haus, the Grilled Cheese Truck, Kitchen Mouse Vegan Cafe, La Monarca Bakery, Mama Masubi, Mariscos Jalisco, Home State, Picnik, Starry Kitchen, Short Order, Sushi Roku.
There's also a bar list with the likes of Harlowe, 1886 Bar and The Church Key. And if you're craving some sweets, they've got an Ice Cream Social lineup with The Churro Borough, Donut Friend, Fluff Ice, Salt & Straw and more. You can wash that down with their Iced Coffee Lounge where you can sample stuff from Cafecito Organico, Intelligentsia and Verve. Breweries like our Angel City and Golden Road will also be there.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
