Get ready for the return of BHYFest, the annual Boyle Heights Youth Festival, happening Saturday, June 7 from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM on 1st Street (between Breed and St. Louis). This one-of-a-kind, youth-led event celebrates creativity, leadership, and the vibrant spirit of our community.

What makes BHYFest special is that

100+ booths offering free resources, services, and activities from local organizations

FREE food for all! Including elotes, hot dogs, aguas frescas, and over 4,000 paletas

Live performances by youth artists from across Los Angeles

Getting There:

We encourage everyone to walk, bike, skate, or take public transit (Metro and bus lines). The street will be closed to traffic, creating a safe, festive block party atmosphere. The event is pet-friendly, fully accessible, and features multiple water refill stations—please bring a reusable bottle!

No commercial vendors. Everything is 100% FREE
