Things to keep in mind
First Friday is happening on Abbot Kinney Boulevard in Venice from 5 to 9:30 p.m. on Friday, August 7. Public restrooms are available at California Avenue and Palms Boulevard.
Just a heads-up on seating – the food trucks don’t have their own dedicated tables. Organizers ask guests to be mindful of the restaurants along Abbot Kinney. If you’re grabbing food from a truck, please don’t snag a table at a nearby restaurant unless you’re also a customer.
Bring your shades, your appetite, and maybe some friends to share a few bites with. Just show up hungry and get ready to snack your way down Abbot Kinney. Your Friday night plans are sorted.
