Abbot Kinney Festival

Venice Beach, Abbot Kinney Blvd, CA
Venice Beach has always been known for its unique fashion, eclectic music, multi-cultural crowd, etc. Venice attracts all sorts of people: the rich, the poor, the hippies, the homeless, the famous and the talented. The most important thing is that everyone feels the same and has a free spirit. Abbot Kinney is one the many boulevards located in Venice which has a lot of personality because there are coffee shops, art stores, clothing stores, antiques stores, etc. This year, Abbot Kinney celebrated its 25th anniversary, and it was a fun party. There were booths with food, clothing, live music, alcoholic drinks, performers and an eclectic crowd who enjoyed all of it. I waited for friends to join me but while I waited I met other people. This place was a fun carnival, especially the performers who created an atmosphere out of the normal. An entertainer, who wore a Speedo, had a show with two plastic cobras. Another entertainer, who wore a Speedo as well, but his show was about himself and the Speedo. Finally, my friends arrived and we walked all over the boulevard. I had to leave early because of other engagements, but the party was going on apparently for a long time. Later that evening, I was at a friend of mine’s house and she waited for her friend, Lennox. Unfortunately, Lennox arrived two hours later because he was at Abbot Kinney festival too. Indeed, the 25th anniversary was phenomenal.
