Formed in December of 1979, the Sunset Junction Neighborhood Alliance was created to acknowledge and celebrate the diversity that exists in the neighborhoods of Silver Lake, Echo Park and Los Feliz. This area of Los Angeles has long been recognized as an area where Artists, Gen X, Gen Y, Latinos, Gays, Lesbians, Students and entertainment moguls strive to live in harmony through mutual acceptance and respect for each others way of life.

In 2002, Sunset Junction was ranked Fourth Best Big Event in Los Angeles (behind the Tournament of Roses Parade, the Academy Awards, and the West Hollywood Halloween Parade) by Los Angeles Citysearch, Best of LA 2001. This year, attendance is expected to be at an all time high due to the landmark success of last years event and the exceptional talent that is scheduled to perform. Attendance: 75,000-100,000 daily.

All proceeds benefit Sunset Junction area youth programs.

Sunset Junction’s youth program was created as a result of the community being pulled apart. People want their communities to be livable again, free of gangs, drugs, and violence. The Youth Program has been a succes getting neighborhood youth involved in taking action in the community.

Organized by the Sunset Junction Neighborhood Alliance, the program involves youth from the community who are under-served and at risk. They work in a summer six-week program learning horticulture, ecology, mural painting, and environmental beautification while strengthening work values. Year round the alliance provides tutoring and computer skills training, art classes, the summer program and support service to the community, job training and after school programs.
