51st Annual AbilityFirst Food & Wine Festival
Sunday, June 8, 2025
You’re invited to the 51st annual Food & Wine Festival! As you enjoy a dazzling array of tastings from local chefs, cocktail bars, breweries, and wineries, you’ll be supporting the 2,000+ adults and children with disabilities served by AbilityFirst. These individuals rely on AbilityFirst for a sense of stability, which is more vital than ever for those affected by LA’s recent wildfires.
