Abbot Kinney First Fridays
Venice's Iconic First Friday Food Truck Festival on Abbot Kinney
LA's premier food truck event on famous Abbot Kinney strip. Very high foot traffic from locals and tourists. Private curated event — not open to any vendor, must be invited/approved. Great exposure but limited retail booth availability.
The first Friday of every month, Venice's famous Abbot Kinney Boulevard closes to traffic and fills with LA's premier food truck gathering. Thousands of locals and tourists wander the iconic strip, discovering new culinary creations and merchant activations under the California evening sky. This is curated LA at its most vibrant — exclusive vendor selection means every booth is worth exploring.
