Promoters of the Los Angeles Echo Park Rising Festival announced that the festival will return for its 11th year on Saturday, Sept. 9.

After a lengthy hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the local business festival is bringing together music, art and food to the streets of Echo Park for a free, all-ages event.

Music venues, bars, restaurants and various other businesses throughout the neighborhood will once again take part in the festivities.

The stages are usually stacked with local talent of various genres. In the past, the festival has included acts like Chicano Batman, Warpaint’s Theresa Wayman, Goldlink, Allah-Las, Death Valley Girls, Sad Girl, Los Retros, Lilly, The Paranoyds, Ian Sweet, Hana Vu, Melissa Brooks and more.

The lineup for the 2023 edition will be announced in the coming weeks at epr.la.

Echo Park Rising began in 2011, emerging from the community as a free last-minute street fair to celebrate the creativity of residents and businesses throughout the city. Echo Park Rising is put together by the Echo Park Chamber of Commerce and continues to be produced by volunteers.
