LOS ANGELES, CA — August 27, 2026 — Pacific Electric, Los Angeles’ live music and cultural destination, is opening The Garden, a new open-air gathering place at its historic Naud Warehouse home where Mission Junction meets Chinatown. Launching Labor Day Weekend, September 3–6, The Garden gives friends, families and neighbors of all ages a place to eat, drink, play and spend time together — whether there’s a show on the calendar or not.
Built around the idea that Pacific Electric can be as much a neighborhood gathering place as a live music venue, The Garden will feature a new outdoor bar, including four new cocktails on draft alongside Pacific Electric’s existing bar offerings, plus new food items from Secret Indian Food Window, a unique concept by BADMAASH. Guests can grab a drink and a bite, settle in for the evening or get competitive with giant Connect Four, Jenga, cornhole, and more available throughout the space.
“With The Garden, we wanted to create a space that feels open and welcoming,” shares Stacey Levine, Senior General Manager. “You don’t need a ticket to an event or a special occasion. The community is invited to come by for a drink, grab some food, play a game, meet up with friends, or simply enjoy an evening under the stars.”
On Saturday, September 5, The Garden will welcome TUMBAO, a Miami-inspired Afro-Latin nightlife experience, for a special evening presented in partnership with adidas. Meaning “groove, rhythm and sexiness,” TUMBAO brings together carefully curated club sounds from around the world with a spirit of perreo, community and self-expression. The evening will feature Good Times Ahead, Giselle Peppers, Littlerok, Supernova and Vago. Entry is free and first come, first served, with the first 50 guests receiving a limited-edition TUMBAO x adidas collaboration T-shirt.
The Garden expands Pacific Electric’s footprint beyond its ticketed concert programming, offering a new way to experience the venue and neighborhood outside of show nights. After opening weekend, The Garden will remain open every weekend, with hours designed for everything from an after-work drink to a Sunday afternoon hang.
