RESEDA, Calif. (Oct. 16, 2026) — The San Fernando Valley has its own art and music festival, and it is coming back to Sherman Way. Los Angeles City Councilmember Bob Blumenfield and 11:11 Projects present Reseda Rising: Art + Music Festival on Saturday, October 24, from 5:00 to 10:00 PM.

This year's festival also opens the doors of the new Reseda Ice Rink to the public for the first time. Festivalgoers can step inside from 5:30 to 7:30 PM for a first look at the City of Los Angeles' first year-round public ice facility, built with the LA Kings on Sherman Way as part of the ​C​ouncilmember's Reseda Rising initiative.
