Famous Amos 50th Anniversary Block Party

Wally Amos, founder of Famous Amos cookies—the vending-machine favorite of sweet tooths everywhere—was also famous for his block parties in the 1970s and ’80s. To honor him and celebrate 50 years of the brand, Famous Amos is throwing a free block party at 6800 Hollywood Blvd, outside El Capitan Theatre, with music, dancing, art and plenty of cookies. See artist OG Slick paint a mural live, listen to live music and DJ sets, watch break dancers and double-dutch jumpers do their thing, strap on some skates at a pop-up roller rink and walk through a showcase of lowriders while you nibble on cookies.
