Los Angeles Food Festivals – 2023
Los Angeles is the most populous of our California travel areas, and its list of food-and-beverage festivals is also chock-full of fun events for all those people to enjoy. Visitors are welcome, too, so you’ll want to check out the list below to see if there’s something unique to add to your things to do on your Los Angeles trip list.
For each entry on the list, you’ll find the date(s) it’s scheduled to occur, the city in which it’s to take place, plus a link to a website with additional details. It’s a good idea to make note of the website and to recheck it closer to the actual date to verify the details. If you’re unsure about where an event is taking place in relation to your vacation home base, these Los Angeles maps may be of assistance. Then again, Google Maps is probably a better resource, especially in LA where getting around can be challenging.
The list currently contains mostly 2022 dates, but as 2023 dates are set and added to the list ***they’ll be denoted with a triple asterisk*** to avoid confusion.
People who are planning a 2023 visit to Los Angeles might wonder if these events are usually held during the same month every year. Many are, however, it’s also not unusual for an event to be moved to a different month. The “for further information” website links often include contact details for the event’s host if you want to ask if the 2023 date has set but not yet published.
You can look through the whole list to see all of the festivals on offer, but if your travel dates are already set you may want to use these handy jump links to quickly advance to a specific month’s events:
