Thanks for all the tips. Have a hotel room so parking shouldn't be an issue, although it sounds like I may catch heck trying to get to the hotel Friday night to check in.

I think you will find people stacking up in areas that don't have both.

You can still do that without going into those areas you mentioned.

I like to get into the food area right when it opens and have a few things, then just sit out near the river way in the back from one of the stages. I enjoy sipping on a beer and people watching as well as visiting with a few friends who I run into.

Far and away the best festival in LA. People complaining in this thread suck at life. Fact.

Complaining that the FQF was better five years ago is so five years ago.

ETA: Why on earth was this thread anchored??

Grab food by the mint. I also have never really had a problem getting food at the places I like in Jackson Square (Crawfish Crepes)


So for the food, there will be vendors set up, or you just get stuff from the regular restaurants around?

It's not worth it anymore imo. The crowd gets worse every year.
