From the opening performance by the USC marching band to featured talks from thought leaders like Malcolm Gladwell to an entire stage devoted just for cooking demonstrations, there’s pretty much something for everyone at this year’s festival.
And of course the best part? General admission is FREE!
That said, if you plan to attend, check some important FAQ info after the jump (admission is free, but there are still some costs…).
