From their website https://www.abbotkinneyfest.com :
We know how many of you were looking forward to the return of the Abbot Kinney Festival this September, which makes this especially difficult to share. After careful consideration, we've made the difficult decision to cancel the 2026 Abbot Kinney Festival, scheduled for September 27.
The Festival has always been rooted in the creativity, energy and community spirit that make Venice special. It became clear that creating the Festival our community deserves requires broader community involvement and a stronger planning structure. Rather than move forward without those pieces fully in place, we're turning our focus toward building a stronger foundation for the Festival's future.
This October, we'll begin forming a Community Advisory Board to bring more local voices, ideas and creativity into planning for 2027. If you love the Abbot Kinney Festival and want to help shape what comes next, we'd love to hear from you at hello@abbotkinneyfest.com.
To our businesses, partners, vendors, artists and community members who have supported us and believed in the Festival's return: thank you. We share your disappointment and are incredibly grateful for this community.
Stay tuned for more on how to get involved.

So I’m still thinking about a move to Los Angeles. Only thing is that I would be homeless for a little while until I can afford my own apartment again.

I would stay near Venice Beach and my work is very close to the beach there so that I could just walk to walk right from there to save some money. I’m thinking of going there with only $280. I would only need $210 to get there and I would use the rest to buy some food until my next pay. I would be out of work for 3 weeks but I could stay at shelters and use soup kitchens to survive. I just really want to get of here as soon as possible. It’s only a 21 minute walk to my work from Venice beach so it’s not even that far at all. And that’s if I get into that location of course.

So. What’s it like to be homeless in Los Angeles?

I would shower at gyms and stay on the beach or libraries on my days off.
