The Venice Fest, a cornerstone cultural celebration in Southern California, has announced its 2025 event dates, promising a series of vibrant one-day festivals designed to foster community spirit through art, music, and local business support.
Set against the backdrop of Venice Boulevard in the heart of downtown Mar Vista, the festival will kick off with the Venice Love Fest on March 22, continue with the Venice Summer Fest on June 21, and conclude with the Venice Winter Fest on November 22. Each event will feature live music, artisan vendors, culinary delights, and interactive experiences aimed at promoting unity and creativity within the community.
Organizers emphasize that Venice Fest is "more than just an event - it's a reflection of the community's heart and soul." Spanning four blocks, the festival will showcase over 400 artists, brands, and designers, alongside live performances on three stages. With hands-on art workshops, food from local vendors, and immersive cultural activities, each festival is anticipated to attract approximately 100,000 visitors.
"Our mission is to spread positivity and underscore the importance of supporting local businesses, artists, and creatives," organizers explained. "Through shared experiences, we create a space where the community can connect, celebrate, and uplift one another."
Venice Fest is free to attend and welcomes all ages. The event is also pet-friendly, encouraging attendees to bring their furry friends to join in the fun. While free street parking is available on nearby side streets, organizers suggest using rideshare services for added convenience.
A portion of the festival's proceeds will benefit local non-profit partner Nourish LA, an organization dedicated to fighting hunger, reducing food waste, and ensuring food security for those in need across Los Angeles.
