Hot Dog Sundays at El Cid in Silver Lake

Sunday night in Silver Lake has a regular home at El Cid, and Hot Dog Sundays is the party that fills it. On October 11 the doors open for a long session that starts in the late afternoon and runs until a quarter to midnight. If you are putting together things to do in Los Angeles that don't require a Saturday-night commitment, this one fits.

When: Sunday, October 11, 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) tells you 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, which makes it 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 kind of schedule suits people who like to ease in. Show up when the sun is still 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 find the format appealing.

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. In other words, 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.

Worth knowing

Check the DICE listing before you go for any updates to hours, age requirements or entry rules, since the page is the only source for this event. If you are looking for things happening in Los Angeles on a Sunday, a $13.65 ticket and a seven-hour window is a modest ask for an afternoon and evening out in one of the city's best-known nightlife neighborhoods.
