We Are LA Family Festival
September 17th
It aims to celebrate and engage families in a day-long family friendly music festival at the StubHub Center. Proceeds from the event support nonprofit organizations in LA investing in the lives of children and families and making a difference in our community. Nearly 1 million people in LA are living in poverty and tragically only about 12 percent of 9th graders go on to earn a college degree. The formation of We Are LA came from the demands to support the tens of thousands of nonprofit organizations across LA, while lessening the competition for donors and resources, to create a collaborative platform where community supporters could enjoy a day of music, fun with friends and family, and give back to the community.
