After the fiasco last weekend known as the "Awesometown Food Truck Festival" and seeing that Lardon…read morewas no longer on the list for Sunday was tempted to skip this. I saw that Jin N. checked in there on Saturday and dropped him a quick note asking how it was. He replied back with his recommendation that it was worth going to so we made the trip down. The event was scheduled to start at 11:30 and we found street parking a block away about 5 minutes after that. I was completely fearing the worst with the crowds and as we walked into the lot, there was maybe 30-40 other people there. Even when we left at 12:45 would have to say the worst line was 10 deep at the most and the majority of the trucks had lines that were 2 or 3 people deep. The trucks were set up in a "U" around the parking lot with lots of room and tables. There were a few trucks there that I had never seen before and really liked that we were able to talk with the owners. They loved the fact that my daughter was taking an interest in food and asked what we liked, didn't like and what we looked for when going to a truck. It felt like they were honestly looking for feedback instead of just having to throw something out the window to keep the lines mooving (get it, like a cattle call??) The crew from Wholly Rollers did a great job circulating to see that everyone was having a great experience which they should get kudos for! My only regret is that I didn't head down on Friday and Saturday nights as well!!! The next time they have an event, I'll be there as this is how a food truck festival should be set up and run!

[November 12th event]…read more First off, I just want to say that this was a really great experience. Props to Wholly Rollers Events for putting on a successful street food fest!! I missed the first event last month mainly by choice because I didn't eat so well the previous week so I figured it would be a bad idea to end it with more less than healthy food. My wife and I made it out to this one intending to limit ourselves to mostly small bites. We rolled up at about 7pm Friday and easily found valet parking right next door for $2. Even before we stepped into the parking lot, we could sense it was just the right atmosphere for gourmet food truck fans. Trucks were lined up on either side and at the end of the space with plenty of tables and chairs in the middle. DJ Kino was spinning good tunes. We noticed all walks of life there...from young, hip 20-somethings to families with young kids. Security guards kept things in order and the clean-up crew was very attentive making sure trash cans did not overflow and tables were wiped down. Now, onto the food... Shrimp Pimp: 2 drunken shrimp tacos -- sherry ginger marinated shrimp sauteed and served with, I believe, pickled jicama and carrots on 2 tortillas. Verdict: 2.5 stars (out of 5). They were just okay. Didn't really taste a lot of marinade in the shrimp. Thought the tortillas could've been quick-grilled for a little more flavor. I have to say I was expecting this truck would have at least 1 Hawaiian-style garlic shrimp over steamed rice dish. I think that would round out the menu a bit. The Guinness-marinated shrimp & chips looked really tasty though. Patty Wagon: 2 "Shine On Harvest Moon" sliders -- a ground beef burger with Havarti cheese, warm bacon/cabbage/leek slaw, slice of pink lady apple, bit of mayo with homemade pickle on a toasted roll. Verdict: 5 stars. Delicious! Great grubbing food. I had mine w/out the apple since I'm allergic to raw apples. I could taste pretty much every ingredient. The grass-fed ground beef reminded me of beef I had on a trip to Ireland where they have some of the best in the world. It was perfectly-cooked and juicy. The roll had just the right crispy crust while still pillow-soft in the middle. Willoughby Road: Twice fried chicken w/grilled watermelon and side of creamy mac & cheese. Verdict: 3 stars. Chicken was greasier than I'm used to. The batter had a slightly sweet flavor w/a bit of a kick. The chicken meat itself was fairly juicy and not dry. I don't normally care for watermelon but grilling it enhances the flavor. I liked it. The mac & cheese was less than impressive. The consistency was pretty good but the flavor was lacking. I tasted more of the pasta itself than cheese. The Street Hawker (Singaporean): Fried rice w/shrimp, carrots, peas, onions, a bit of scrambled egg and topped with cilantro and red chili pepper. Verdict: 4 stars. Full of flavor! I couldn't totally place the seasoning. There was definitely soy sauce but I couldn't tell what else. It was slightly smokey. The color was a rich, dark brown. The rice was not quite sticky like most places which actually was just fine. I must mention we asked to make it not so spicy so I'm not sure how spicy it normally is. Good portion for $8. We wanted to eat it all but we saved half for tomorrow. Ahn-Joo (Korean): 3 small, grilled skewers of ginger & soy marinated beef w/cherry tomatoes. Verdict: 4 stars. Great flavor! The tomatoes complemented the beef perfectly. A few of the beef pieces were a tiny bit chewy--seemed to have a bit more fat. Other than that, great snack! Mango Tango: Peach Italian ice. Verdict: 5 stars. Texture was just right. Actual peach chunks. If it wasn't too chilly I would've eaten it up within 10 minutes. Generous portion for a small size ($4). My wife also had a grilled Nutella bhang w/berries from Ahn-Joo which I did not taste. It's basically a grilled Nutella sandwich w/fresh berries sprinkled with powdered sugar. Looked tasty! Again, I felt like the event was put together pretty well. Everyone seemed satisfied (except for one older lady in front of us at the Shrimp Pimp who had apparently asked for something not spicy but it was still too spicy for her. She later apologized for complaining and the truck manager made sure she was satisfied). I forgot to mention the large projected designs (one for Wholly Rollers, the other snowflakes) on the side of a tall office building next door. Classy! Plenty of seating for everyone. The DJ didn't play dancy, pop music all night. He actually threw in some good mainstream rock songs too which was a nice change. Great job Wholly Rollers!! Looking forward to the next one. This should be a WEEKLY thing like The Brig in Venice!!

The fair is on Chatsworth street and goes from Zelza ave to Encino ave (about half a mile each direction) Around Zelza they have inflatable slides, and bounce houses for the kids, near White Oak Ave are the local business and food vendors. This year in 2025 they had an extra row of food vendors that are usually here for the weekly Friday night Granada hills farmers market/food truck. And over by the Encino ave. side is where the car show is. Between the food vendors & car show is the Oktoberfest beer garden. Tickets for the beer garden were going for $30 and you get 10 tickets to try a 3 or 4oz sample from the local craft brewers in attendance. The fair goes on from about 10am-5pm. Parking in the surrounding neighborhood isn't took bad, but you might have to walk a block or two. Or you can park in the Ralph's or TJ Max parking lots on Zelza and Chatsworth if you don't feels like searching for residential parking.

Worldfest is an all day fun filled vegetarian/green festival. The perfect place for me! I have been…read moregoing to this festival almost every year. In addition to all the vegetarian food and restaurant booths, there are animals to adopt, clothes and shoes to buy and much, much more! I even got to pet a cow last year. There are speakers and entertainment everywhere you turn. A vet answering questions, an author discussing their books, a vegetarian cartoonist? Yep, you can find them here! Do you want to be a little more 'green'? Do you want to learn how to eat a little better? Or maybe you just like animals and are considering adding one to your family? You can do it all at Worldfest. And all for the small admission cost of $5-$7 (and it is a non-profit event). A few tips: Parking- you can park for free along Victory Sunscreen- Apply liberally. Repeat. Water-if you bring your own reuseable bottle, they will supply free filtered water. Have fun!

Though I was hungover, and did not have enough patience to fully take advantage of everything this festival had to offer - I respect it for being positive. I tried some chow mein and a steak kabob from One World. I wanted sweets but didnt get that far. One of my favorite parts of being here was the minute I walked in and heard the music on the main stage. Who was it you ask? It was the wonderful Quetzal Guerrero: http://www.qviolin.com/ If you have never hear this guy - please click the link above and check him out whenever you see his name. He is the truth. There was various types of dogs. Dogs that have never seen outside the television or computer. Afghan hounds walk funny but they're cute. There was a goat there who might have an identity crisis later in life. I'm thinking the goat thinks it may be a dog. Poor thing. Most memorable moment was when I was walking with ol'girl. She said "look a pony". I told her it was a unicorn. She said "oh my god, but, wait, dont unicorns have that thing on their heads". Priceless and totally worth crawling myself out of bed.

This is our first time to go to Holiday Road or any Xmas lighting events... so, we did not know…read morewhat to expect. Their page is also popped up on my social media feeds frequently. We got 25% off from IG/FB. $80 for 2, $10 parking. We booked 5 pm entry. We could come between 5 to 5:30 pm. The parking was well organized. There was no line. There are many food trucks with variety of food choices (donuts, Korean food truck, vietnamese food truck, Wise BBQ, kettle corn, etc.) There is a bar for alcoholic drinks as well as hot chocolate or eggnog. There are multiple theme decorations, snow making machine, santa workshops, etc. It is about 1.5 mile easy strolling and pet friendly. Overall, we enjoyed the experience.

*** November 28th, 2025 to December 27th, 2025 ***…read more This is the 6th season for Holiday Road and it is an outdoor holiday experience to see Christmas displays, lights, fields of candy canes, face painting, food trucks, and tons of photo opportunities. The "road" is a 0.75 mile long self-guided walking trail. Most visitors spend 1-hour to 1.5-hour on the grounds. [Location]: The trail is located at King Gillette Ranch. I had minimal cellular signal so make sure to load the GPS direction ahead of time. [Price]: Tickets are $24.99 and up depending on the day. Children 2 years and under are free and do NOT require a ticket. Visitors must purchase a Parking Pass to access the parking lot (no Parking Pass is needed if you are being dropped off). Have digital tickets ready for scanning on the TIXR app or alternatively print a copy of ticket for scanning upon arrival. Our party paid $34.99 per person and $9.99 for a parking pass (plus online transaction fees). [Hours]: Parking lot opens at 4:30 PM. The grounds open from 5:00 PM to 9:30 PM. Trail Entrance, food trucks, bars, and stores open at 5:00 PM and closes at 9:00 PM. Trail ticket times starting from 5 PM until 8 PM. Visitors must select a time slot and the website states visitors must be present at the check-in during the stated arrival window or they will be turned away and no refund will be provided. Our part arrived slightly late by 30 minutes and was still able to get in. [Amenities]: Portable restrooms are available on the grounds. [Special notes]: No pets allowed on the grounds. Expect uneven dirt grounds with big pebbles at the parking lot & many visitors almost tripped as they walked from the parking lot to the entrance - so watch each step. However once visitors are inside of the grounds, then the grounds become easy to navigate for anyone bringing a stroller. [Experience]: It was fairly cold so bring a jacket and/or beanie. It felt like one of those Christmas night walks at botanic gardens plus some big puffy, out of portion, and wacky Christmas decors (e.g. Frosty the Snowman driving a steam locomotive, elves climbing trees, a gingerbread boy with a ribbon hairbow, etc.) Heck our party even saw a LED screen showing AI mariah carey when 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' was played. While some other Christmas lights are more agnostic, visitors will see more decors celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ and Hanukkah. [Conclusion]: A 3.5-star experience - bump down on mediocre food truck options, semi pricey tickets, and the non-stroller-friendly parking lot.

Lined up at 6:30 PM and didn't get in until 8:10 PM, so about an hour and forty minutes total wait…read more The line was long (as expected), but crowd control was actually pretty good, and everyone seemed in good spirits. It's a free event, so a long line is understandable -- just something to plan for. The overall vibe inside was fun and worth checking out if you've got the patience. My only suggestion would be for them to open more than just four days in October. That would help spread out the crowds and make it easier for more people to enjoy the experience without such a long wait.

October 2021 is their…read more30th year anniversary, and as my first time visiting, I am hoping for many more so I can visit for years to come! The theme this year is "Evil in the London Fog," and right when you enter, you feel like you've stepped into a foggy, cobblestoned, Victorian London of the past. This was my first haunted house I've ever done, and I don't like being scared. It is the perfect intro to haunted houses for someone like myself who is a scaredy cat - it was light on gore and very brief which made it manageable to walk through. There was a bit of a line, but it moved quite fast. The haunted house is built on their front yard (amazing), so you will get through it quite quickly. It is free, which is incredible for the amount of work that goes into it. However! There is a box where you can leave donations, and all proceeds go to Volunteers of the Burbank Animal Shelter. Everyone who was working the haunt was so friendly, with fantastic themed costumes to boot. Absolutely wonderful vibes all around! They deserve no tricks and ALL the treats!

I love that you get a real sense…read moreof community here and everyone I have interacted with, even on a minor level, has been so kind. The one thing is, you gotta get here EARLY. Like before 9am, before people start heading out. I really appreciate when companies like Porsche sponsor the day and bring out donuts for everyone. Such a nice touch! You'll see all kinds of cars here from classic muscle cars to modern day sports cars. If you are looking to buy, a lot of people are also selling. Lots of folks often pop up a chair by their car and are willing to answer any questions you have about it. It's a nice way to spend the morning! My ONE thing (not that the organizers can do anything about it I think?) is that I wish so badly a coffee cart would pop up here. Sometimes there is a food truck, but not a dedicated coffee biz. It's so early and I see so many people walking around with a Starbucks in hand, it's such a missed opportunity!
