Abbot Kinney Festival returns in 2025!

Sunday, September 28, 2025

To our Venice community and all lovers of AKF,

We’re writing to let you know that the Abbot Kinney Festival will not take place in 2024.

While we’re sad to take a year off, we’re thrilled to announce that the festival will be back in 2025 and be better than ever.

The pandemic was challenging on many businesses, and particularly so for nonprofit community events. Without the support of generous locals, the festival would not have been able to come back at all. In 2025, with new leadership, fresh resources, and a more robust production team, we’re confident that AKF will thrive in the future.

Even though the festival is not happening, please continue to show up and support the business community on Abbot Kinney.

Thank you for your support over the years. Please feel free to reach out with any questions.

Sincerely, The Abbot Kinney Festival Board
