This year the festival is celebrating The Doors, which was the house band at the Whisky A Go-Go in the mid-1960s, with an exclusive VIP event at House of Blues Sunset Strip Aug. 16. The evening will include stories from friends of The Doors and all-star band paying tribute to the group.

The fest will once again close traffic on Sunset Boulevard between Doheny Drive and San Vicente Boulevard to host an all-day outdoor street fest Aug. 18 featuring two stages, beer gardens, an artist autograph tent, food trucks and more.
