2,500+ people, 60+ producers, a stacked food lineup, DJs, art, and chaos (the good kind), taking over 50,000+ square feet in the Arts District. Good Boy & Friends, a new-school wine & food fest for the next generation of eaters, drinkers, and tastemakers, returns for their fifth year on Saturday, June 27 with more than 60 wineries, L.A.’s top restaurants, art galleries, DJs and more. Part wine-tasting event, part dance floor, part “how is this even real?”, Good Boy & Friends is the alt wine festival L.A. actually deserves. This isn’t a walk-around-and-swirl situation—it’s immersive, high-energy, interactive, and…fun. It’s a for-the-people, by-the-people answer to the stale, gatekept world of traditional wine fairs. Good Boy & Friends will be hosted at the François Ghebaly + Night Gallery Campus in L.A’s Arts District (2245 E Washington Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90021), offering more than 50,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor experiences.The event runs from 5 p.m. - 12 a.m. on Saturday, June 27, with early access at 4 p.m. for VIP ticket holders.
