Abbot Kinney Festival has two stages of live music, dancers, performers, food, a spirit garden, a kiddie area with rides and slides, arts & crap booths, and a colorful parade of people walking up and down the festive street in a good mood. Why are they in a good mood? Because they aren’t at the Sunset Junction, where they had to fork over $20 to do exactly the same thing.

Sun., Sept. 28, 10 a.m.-6:30 p.m., 2008
