The 4th annual Happy Sundays LBC, a free, multi-venue, one-day, music, arts & comedy festival, returns to the Zaferia District in Long Beach on Sunday, August 25th, 2019. All set times now available on flyer above and on their website here: https://happysundayslbc.com/ Recently announced are this year's headliners for the comedy stage at the Long Beach Playhouse: Kyle Kinane and Neil Hamburger. Kyle has appeared on Fallon, Conan, Comedy Bang Bang and was recently in the Netflix series 'The Standups.' While Neil has opened for the likes of Tenacious D, Tim & Eric, and Faith No More, appeared on TV shows ranging from Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job! to Jimmy Kimmel and worked extensively with Tom Green on his internet talk show. Both sets will surely be packed out, so get there early! Created by Julia Kugel (The Coathangers) and Scott Montoya (ex-Growlers), Happy Sundays came out of their idea to gather a wide range of artists for a perfect, hassle-free day of comedy and music. Giving back to the chill and free-flowing LBC community has been a priority since day one, so each year they've partnered with local businesses to offer a free event that is designed to support the community's interests. Says Julia, "Our goal is to spread positivity to the community through music and good vibes," and Scott adds, "Happy Sundays is our way of supporting the community and small business by bringing art and music to the people-- Happy Sundays will always be free for this reason." The Coathangers will headline the festival this year, along with cumbia punk act Tropa Magica, dream goth-pop outfit Prettiest Eyes, '70s local Long Beach punk legends Suburban Lawns (reuniting as Suburban John), Scott and Julia's own band White Woods, and +40 other LA area acts spanning punk, pop, folk, classic rock 'n' roll, comedy and more. All info on acts playing here. The sponsors for the festival feature mostly local LBC businesses and politicians including the Mayor of Long Beach Robert Garcia, Councilman Daryl Supernaw, the Zaferia Business Association, the Port of Long Beach, and local businesses Tom's Tires, Brascia Builders, and the OC Weekly. A few national brands like Golden Road Brewery, New Balance Numeric and Topo Chico are also involved. The shows will take place across nine venues including Alex’s Bar, Analog Records, Ashtanga Yoga, Bamboo Club (DJ sets only), DiPiazza’s, Iguana Kelley’s, the Long Beach Playhouse, Supply & Demand, and Red Leprechaun. Music will start at 1pm and two trolleys will be transporting people between venues for free. The shows are mostly all ages (where the venues allow) and all information / set times can be found at the festival's website.
