3 girls from the East move to LA in 2013 and discovered we couldn’t identify with the LA brunch scene — So we created our own.
Our very first 40z & Waffles took place BET Weekend 2014 at State Social House on Sunset Blvd in the heart of LA with a few of our closest friends + Justin Bieber. We’ve grown every year since, averaging about 500 attendees per event.
Ever since, 40z & Waffles has been bringing cool kids, new artists, key influencers, dope brands, and celebrities together in LA and all over the country. With unparalleled vibes, cocktails, beer pong, chicken, waffles, and actual 40zs, 40z & Waffles has been deemed “The Hottest New Party Series” by Source Magazine and the “Place to be” by the Hollywood Reporter.
In addition to being a staple summer party, 40z has become a sought after platform for upcoming artists to perform and for brands to launch their products to a diverse consumer group.
