The Funk Rumble Block Party
LA’s own Historic Chinatown will be home to the 1st Annual Funk Rumble Block Party this summer.
This incredible grassroots event is brought to you through a collaboration of some of LA’s top underground music and art promoters.
Half music festival – half block party, The Funk Rumble is a blend of live music, djs, vendors, and artists coming together to celebrate urban soul and create the ultimate summer party!
Groove to the sounds of LA’s top funk bands. Performing live - Breakestra, The Lions, Orgone & more! Plus San Francisco’s own - J-Boogie’s Dubtronic Science!
The finest djs from LA’s top underground clubs will be laying down a vast mix of music - soul, funk, reggae, hip hop, latin and more - combining past present and future.
Peruse the vendor village and you’ll find apparel, accessories, artwork and one-of-a-kind goods presented by up and coming designers and the most creative individuals from San Diego to San Francisco.
Amazing works of art will be created right before your eyes from start to finish, throughout the event grounds and art walk area, by over 15 LA artists.
A variety of food will be available along with cool treats on a beautiful summer day!
Cold beer, full bar & entertainment inside the Grand Star Jazz Club.
Mini Indie Film Fest hosted by Project Butterfly on the 2nd floor of the Grand Star!
Join us for this “economy friendly” groundbreaking event!
There is a renaissance that’s currently taking place in Chinatown, Los Angeles. Unknown to many LA natives are the 33 + art galleries that currently exist throughout Chinatown along with seven boutiques in Central Plaza featuring medium to high end men & women’s apparel, accessories, art, books, cards, and trendy housewares.
We hope to raise awareness of what Chinatown has to offer apart from the long standing souvenir shops and eateries.
Often used as a backdrop for feature films, commercials & fashion shoots, Chinatown also has a strong nightlife culture and new quarterly art walk.
There will be an art walk taking place the same evening as The Funk Rumble Block Party and we strongly encourage event goers to check it out!
