What To Eat And Drink At The LA Street Food Fest
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.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
