LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Restaurant discovery platform, The Infatuation, today announced the lineup for the return of its EEEEEATSCON LA festival at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica on Saturday, May 21 and Sunday, May 22.
EEEEEATSCON is a different kind of food experience built in the spirit of a music festival, but with restaurants as the headliners. This is The Infatuation’s first EEEEEATSCON since 2019, and the fourth time the annually sold-out festival is being held in Los Angeles since its inception at the Barker Hangar in 2017.
Individual tickets for each day of the festival are on sale now for $20, plus applicable taxes and fees, while supplies last. The event's general admission is from noon - 6 p.m on both Saturday and Sunday.
Featured at this year’s event is an exciting lineup of some of The Infatuation’s greatest hits from Los Angeles and around the country including: Broad Street Oyster Bar, Calabama, Dtown Pizza, Flatpoint BBQ, Ggiata, Giovanni’s Tiramisu, Harold & Belle’s, Hanchic, Heavy Handed, Hilltop Cafe, Holy Basil, Kindred (New York, NY), Lasita, Little Fish, Mazel, Nixta (Austin, TX), Ospi, Pearl River Deli, Sanguich de Miami (Miami, FL), Tamales Elena, Willie Mae’s Scotch House (New Orleans, LA), and more to be announced soon!
This year’s event will also offer a special first-of-its-kind burger collaboration between Shake Shack and Los Angeles’ Tacos Y Birria La Unica.
At the event each day, Chase Sapphire Reserve cardmembers will have special access to the Chase Sapphire lounge. This unique experience will offer cardmember-only perks, including complimentary food and beverages, and more. Even more, once each day Sapphire Reserve and Preferred cardmembers will be able to enjoy one hour of complimentary food and beverages from select vendors throughout the festival.
In addition to the extensive EEEEEATSCON lineup of food and drink, this year’s festival will feature a variety of panel discussions and featured speakers headlined by producer and actress Issa Rae on Sunday, May 22, with more announcements to come.
Confirmed music and entertainment for the festival includes: LALA Brass, LA Roller Girls, Rock Force Crew, Spinorita (May 21), Morse Code (May 21), DJ Ivy (May 22), and Cutso (May 22).
Created by The Infatuation, EEEEEATSCON originated in Santa Monica in 2017 followed by its launch in New York City for the first time in the fall of 2018. The event is designed for people who want more from a food festival than just tasting-sized portions and cooking demonstrations. With live music performances throughout the day and panels from thought leaders and industry pioneers, EEEEEATSCON is as much about connecting with a community and getting inspired as it is about eating and being entertained.
In addition to Chase Sapphire, other brand partners creating special experiences for EEEEEATSCON LA include: Tequila Don Julio, Caviar, Impossible Foods, and LaCroix Sparkling Water.
