Eat it. Make it. Grow it.

Tacos inspired by flavors from around the world, curry, BBQ, hot dogs, ice cream, noodles, and a whole lot more of LA’s awesome curbside eats. The Eat Real Festival celebrates all things tasty, fresh, and handmade with a focus on street food, local wines, handcrafted beers, and traditional food craft – all featuring sustainable, local ingredients. And no dish or drink costs more than $5.

But eating is only part of the fun. We also show you how to make it and grow it. From home cheesemaking to backyard chickens, you can explore a DIY lifestyle with demos and activities galore. Or just grab a taco and a beer and enjoy our full schedule of entertainment with bands, butchery contests, lit fest, and other tasty tidbits.

Free entry. All transactions cash only.

Eat Real’s putting the food back in fast. Come enjoy LA’s best street foods or hit up the Craft Marketplace for take-home treats.

Eating is only half the fun! Find out how to make it and grow it with our hands-on activities.

Two days of music, storytelling, food skill demos and performances, and butchery contests provide some serious food-ertainment.
