Festivities include live music and food skill demos throughout both days. And if you ride your bike the festival (after all, it is Carmageddon Weekend), bike valets from the Culver City Bicycle Coalition will park your bike and watch it for you while you eat and drink! 

The festival starts at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday and wraps up on Sunday at 9:00 p.m. Learn more about the Eat Real Festival  here.
