Hot Dog Sundays at El Cid in Silver Lake, Oct 25

Hot Dog Sundays comes back to El Cid on October 25, the second date in a row for this Silver Lake Sunday party. It starts while the sun is still up and runs until a quarter to midnight, which makes it an easy pick for anyone sorting through things to do in Los Angeles that don't demand a Saturday-night commitment.

When: Sunday, October 25, 2026, 4:00 PM to 11:45 PM Where: El Cid, 4212 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90029 Price: $13.65 on DICE Tickets: DICE

What to expect

The listing is short on specifics. DICE tags it as a party, and the poster art (a cartoon cowboy riding a giant hot dog) sets the tone: cheeky, loud and not especially serious. No lineup is published on the ticket page, so we won't guess at who is behind the decks. What we do know is the shape of the night. It begins at 4 PM, an early-evening Sunday outing rather than a late club night, and it wraps before midnight, so the work week isn't far behind.

That schedule suits people who like to ease in. Show up when it is still light out, settle in, and stay as long as the energy holds. Anyone chasing EDM in Los Angeles with a lighter, more social feel will probably like the format. If you are planning LA events this weekend, a Sunday session like this is a good way to stretch the weekend by a day.

Practical info

The ticket page says tickets are always available at the door, subject to capacity. It also suggests arriving early to avoid the line, and it notes that ticket holders are not exempt from waiting in line. Buying ahead at $13.65 saves you a step at the box office but won't skip you past the queue. Plan to get there early if you want to be inside for the first stretch.

El Cid sits on Sunset Boulevard near the Silver Lake and Los Feliz border, a busy stretch where parking can be a hassle. Rideshare is the easy option if you plan to have a few drinks. For more nearby plans, browse our Silver Lake neighborhood page or the full EDM category.
