Vans Warped Tour has once again partnered with Long Beach Food Scene Week to highlight local food at affordable prices July 13 through July 26 before LBFSW launches into its full culinary flexing the following week, July 31 through Aug. 9.
Including the efforts of the Downtown Long Beach Alliance, the celebration serves as a launch for both the tour and the city’s much-loved 10-day celebration of our food culture. This year, Insomniac—the organizational arm behind Vans Warped Tour—and I have paired bands with restaurants to create affordable dishes for festival attendees and locals alike as they explore the city.
Vans Warped Tour x Long Beach Food Scene: How did it come about?
Vans Warped Tour has long wanted to do one thing: Uphold its mission to better connect with the community. Even more, their mission to focus on accessibility—and in food terms, that meant cost—aligned perfectly as a segue into Long Beach Food Scene Week.
LBFSW isn’t about discounts or coupons, but flexing culinary power. However, I am not disengaged enough to realize that people’s pockets are not as open as they were. People are both struggling to get by and in desperate need of escape. And that could be done as simple as eating a burger under $15.
Some of my personal favorite spaces are returning—Selva, The 4th Horseman, CoffeeDrunk…—while a slew of new participants join: The Auld Dubliner. Due Fiori. Recreational Coffee. Zuzu’s Petals. The Win~Dow… Just to name a few. And they are partnering with a wide array of bands, from Papa Roach and Jimmy Eat World to The Plain White Ts and Third Eye Blind.
So as we prep for LBFSW to launch July 31 through Aug. 9, this special collaboration with Vans Warped Tour acts as a segue for both festival goers and locals alike to experience the food of Long Beach without paying a hefty price. That is why every item, listed below, is $15 or under.
