Sunset Junction-What's Your Function?












































L.A.'s phenomenal street extravaganza blasts off again on it's 28th mission this Saturday & Sunday, with an eclectic variety of sights, sounds and tastes, all reflective of it's culturally diverse locale.

Each day's $15 entrance fee includes three stages of music, benefitting a non-profit outreach, along with multitudes of vendors who peddle savory street foods and arts & crafts which line Sunset Junction's perimeter from 3700 to 4300 Sunset Boulevard and 4000 to 4200 Santa Monica Boulevard.

Those over 65 or under 12 years of age are admitted for free and shuttles will be available from the suggested parking at LA City College which is five blocks east of the hipster-happenings.

They are also offering a bike valet, provided by LABC at 3700 block of Sunset's Edgecliffe Entrance to inspire conservation.

Obviously, Sir Isaac isn't going to be included in the line up, Sam of the legendary Sam and Dave is performing in his absence and will pay tribute to Hayes' legacy.
