Welcome Volunteers! After a three year hiatus, we're thrilled to announce the Abbot Kinney Festival will kick-off this year on Sunday, September 24th, 2023! A celebration of art, music, food, and community in the heart of Venice Beach, California! Join us as we transform the historical and iconic Abbot Kinney Boulevard into a vibrant hub of creativity and fun. Net proceeds of the festival assist The Abbot Kinney Festival Association (AKFA,) a 501(c)(3) grant making organization, that supports community-based organizations in Venice with an emphasis on youth, community, and the arts.
