THE EVENT

ChainFEST is the world’s largest celebration of chain restaurants. We create exclusive, gourmet versions of iconic menu items, resurrect discontinued fan favorite items, and debut brand new dishes in collaboration with the most iconic and beloved chain restaurants. It’s a massive celebration of the chains that made us – and all food is included in the price of admission!

 

After last year’s inaugural ChainFEST Los Angeles festival drew a sold out crowd of 5,000+ foodies, ChainFEST LA is back in an all-new venue — Skylight ROW DTLA. The larger venue will allow for more exclusive menu-items from your favorite chains and even more unforgettable immersive experiences at every turn.

 

ChainFEST LA is selling a limited number of passes to the festival and tickets will sell out. Tickets will increase in price as the festival approaches, so be sure to purchase early for the very best pricing! The earlier you purchase tickets, the more money you will save.  All ticket tiers grant you the same level of event access.

 

ChainFEST LA will transform Skylight ROW DTLA into chain food enthusiast heaven with over 5,000 fans! Centrally located in Downtown Los Angeles, ChainFEST LA is easily accessible for everyone in LA County.
