The East End of Downtown Santa Ana will be rocking this weekend with the East End Music (+More) Festival!
After extensive building and landscaping renovation at the former Fiesta Marketplace the pedestrian promenade is ready for you to explore. Several new retailers and renovated restaurants are joining in the celebration on Saturday, including the historic Yost Theater, Eibar Coffee, La Paloma, R&R Sportswear, Guadalajara, Fiesta Mall, Charlie’s Tattoo, American Barber, Dame Elegante, and many more.
From 5 to 10 p.m., you can enjoy live music, DJs and special product sampling throughout the evening, an in-line skating competition and expo, an appearance by The Food Network's Great American Food Truck Race contestant "The Lime Truck," a "Designer Bazaar" and cocktail reception, meet and greet with pro boxers and even a Cupcake Sprinkle Bar at Moya's Bakery.
All of the events are free except for a special all ages concert by Unwritten Law at newly renovated Yost Theater at 8 p.m. Tickets are $19.99 in advance online and $23 at the door the day of the show.
Following the show at 10 p.m., OC's oldest, most historic venue will present a free open house to showcase its new state of the art sound and lighting systems which will soon play host to internationally renowned acts, cutting edge performances and club nights. DJs will spin and drinks will be served until 2am.
The East End is located between 3rd and 5th streets and Bush and French streets in the heart of Downtown Santa Ana.
The Yost Theater is located at 307 N. Spurgeon Street in Santa Ana.
