Thousands gathered in Boyle Heights Saturday for a day of free family fun at one of Los Angeles’ largest youth-led celebrations.<\/p>\n

For more than a decade, the Boyle Heights Youth Fest has invited families to take to the streets of East LA with live music, performances, games and giveaways.<\/p>\n

For months, a board of youth leaders<\/strong>, ages 14 to 24, worked to organize this year’s festival.<\/p>\n

Lead coordinator Adrian Salinas said the board did everything from choose its headliner and mainstage artists, to booking food and activities vendors.<\/p>\n

“Here in Boyle Heights, there’s not really an event as big as the youth festival,” Salinas said. “It has been a lot of work, day by day, but it’s been worth it.”<\/p>\n

“Cobra Kai” co-stars Xolo Maridue\u00f1a<\/strong> and Jacob Bertrand, the duo behind “The Lone Lobos<\/strong>” podcasts, lent their support again this year as festival ambassadors.<\/p>\n

Our ABC7 Street Team was also on hand, offering a free photo booth experience and handing out giveaways from Disney, Marvel, ABC and Nat Geo.<\/p>\n

The festival opened with a traditional ceremony, featuring the Ritual Azteca Danzantes ground dancers.<\/p>\n

The land acknowledgement was followed with performances by The Majorettes, NSixHundred, singer Arlo Jackson, SENOLAVIE, Livid, The Bystanders and MISA.<\/p>\n

Headlining Saturday’s event was alternative indie rock band Rangoo, from Tustin, Calif., which joins artist Tony Jupiter this week for its U.S. tour, “The Clown Syndrome Tour.”<\/p>\n
