Bored on a Friday night? Try this: on the 1st Friday of every month, Abbot Kinney Blvd in Venice, CA, stays open late!

What is there to do on Abbot Kinney Blvd? Aside from art galleries, eclectic boutiques, and trendy restaurants filled with lively crowds, the 1st Friday of every month brings entertainment for everyone. Many of the open stores and galleries host live bands, and some even offer free snacks for visitors.

Although, what is most popular at 1st Friday in Venice are the food trucks. Abbot Kinney Blvd is filled with food trucks parked all along the street. These are not the catering trucks you see at construction sites. These trucks serve great gourmet food at great prices!

Which trucks have been spotted on Abbot Kinney Blvd? Here’s a list of a few of them:

  • @kogibbq
  • @BorderGrill
  • @dimsumtruck
  • @grlldcheesetruk
  • @coolhaus
  • @flyingpigtruck

And so much more!
