Sunset Junction is proud to produce the 30th Anniversary of Silverlake’s beloved Sunset Junction Fair. The annual event was initially created to help ease tensions in the neighborhood, but has since grown largely in both attendance and scope. Revenue earned from the fair each year is invested right back into the community.The funds continue to help support programs designed to re-focus and educate at risk youth with comprehensive job training, soccer and sports programs, community beautification, art, safety and clean-up projects. To date, completed projects include 25 murals, after school sports and recreation programs, the Sunset Junction Soccer Club, job training, tree planting on Sunset Blvd., the building and maintenance of Triangle Park, painting murals for local businesses, ridding the area of graffiti, overall neighborhood clean-up and safety initiatives.

HybriDigital - Shiny members Chad Petree and Jeremy Dawson perform exclusive live vocals, synths, guitars and sequences pop and locked with an enhanced digital visual platform of all of the bands top dance floor remixes from the new album GIRLS LE DISKO. They are joined on stage by WILDCHILDWORLD .. A collective of contortionists, aerialists, fire-breathing, freak-rocking clubkids from all over the world.
WILDCHILDWORLD - Classifiably a nocturnal creature, WildChild goes interplanetary, juxtaposing the limited, fleshy body with the limitless human imagination. His brilliantly costumed figure employs fire, dance, music, and contortion to deconstruct technology, sexuality, and the human form. With a surreal, alien flavor, his performance art creates an absolutely scandalous vision of delirium, hovering somewhere between the realms of sleep and wakefulness..
