Long Beach's FAM Fest is Back, Bigger, and Better Than Ever on Oct 4th

Get ready, Long Beach! The city's most anticipated celebration of local flavor, creativity, and sound—the Food, Art, & Music (FAM) Fest—is returning for its third year, and it’s transforming into something truly special. This isn't just a festival; it's a full-blown Charity Block Party, and it promises to be the most memorable one yet with some of the best food Los Angeles has to offer.

Mark your calendars for Saturday, October 4th, from 1-6 PM. This year, the goal is bigger, the party is grander, and the cause is closer to our hearts than ever. All proceeds from the day will benefit the Jonathan Jaques Children’s Cancer Institute, a local organization dedicated to advancing pediatric cancer treatment and care. The festival aims to raise an impressive $65,000 to support their life-saving work, and every single dollar you spend goes directly to making a difference.

So, what can you expect from this family-friendly block party? Prepare for a day packed with fun for all ages, from carnival games and a bounce house for the little ones to exclusive experiences for the adults. It's a true community celebration, bringing together the very best of Long Beach for a day you won't want to miss.
