Echo Park Rising

Celebrate L.A.’s burgeoning Eastside with a free music festival—what’s not to like? Echo Park Rising is back as a one-day fest with dozens of performances from handpicked local up-and-coming bands and comedians. With venues that typically range from the Echo and Stories Books & Cafe to the Semi-Tropic and Sticky Rice, as well as various special discounts and sales at local businesses, this is always a neighborhood affair not to be missed.
