Taking over the Echo and Echoplex on Saturday, August 16, Echo Park Rising makes its return with a solid lineup featuring Tijuana Panthers, Bob Baker’s Marionette Theater, La Doña, Zzzahara, Fake Dad, and more. Additional shows will be popping up throughout the weekend at various local businesses, including Bar Flores, Sticky Rice, Little Joy, and many more. Head over to EPR’s Instagram for those lineups.
EPR is free, all-ages, and great for families too. The pre-festival fun begins at the Echo Park Farmers’ Market, featuring family-friendly activities, including summer reading activities from 826LA and the Los Angeles Public Library, with giveaways and community DJs.
Why We Love Echo Park Rising
Echo Park Rising is a community-focused music festival that has always held a special place in our Grimy hearts. In the early days of EPR, Grimy Goods had its own stage at the Echoplex where we booked bands and invited our GG community (which at the time was the East Hollywood indie/garage/punk scene). Every year, we handpicked which indie bands to feature at the multi-day music event, which has now been condensed into a single day. Even our Grimy Goods TV series had its own Echo Park Rising edition. While the festival has changed immensely since Live Nation purchased Spaceland Presents in 2019, EPR is still presented by the Echo Park Chamber of Commerce, and we’ll always have much love for it.
