By way of determination and a unique vision, Mark and his team’s goal was to bring a music festival to Los Angeles to present to the public in one of the city’s most distinctive locations. Mission accomplished for the festival underway, as The Autry is the ultimate, outdoor venue for live entertainment on sun-kissed days and twinkling, summer nights. Nestled on 2.5 acres of outdoor space, festival goers can soak up the breathtaking view while escaping into the sultry sounds of live music. There is also free parking available across the street at the LA Zoo.

Coastal wineries, along with Budweiser, Budlight, Stella Artois, Shock Top and Golden Road Brewing are a sampling of the domestic, craft breweries and adult beverage partners onboard. Foodies too can rally in the fun of deciding which gourmet food truck will punch their palates with some Los Angeles favorites such as Not Your Mamas Kitchen and The Kobbler King.
