TAKE A RIDE WITH HIT THE SWITCHES
Hit the Switches is one of its kind: from the people behind Hello Stranger, this 2-day festival brings you funk, freestyle and soul music, West Coast culture and family vibes for all. By the people, for the people.
Expect electrifying musical performances, car displays, Boogie Wonderland roller rink with Record Box truck and special performances, Lucha Libre, your favorite local vendors, site-specific art installations, kids zone, live screen-printing, food, satellite bars, and pop-lockin’ all around.
CAR DISPLAYS
From left to right, North to South, you’ll find bright and shiny low riders and classic cards displayed throughout the festival grounds. Helloooo eye candy! Just remember, you can look, but you can’t touch.
ROLLER RINK
Bounce, rock, skate, roll… you know the drill. Whether you’re a seasoned skater or new to the roller scene, we have a whole rink ready for you. And as the soundtrack we’ve enlisted the help of the Record Box Truck -a solar-powered sound system on wheels- along with Daniel T & B-Wade’s Roller Bounce sets, and live performances by Mia Honey Deux, and Cassandra Dali. Don’t forget your skates, but if you do, rentals are available.
LUCHA LIBRE WRESTLING RING
This isn’t WWE, no no. Translating to “freestyle wrestling, lucha libra is something all its own: this style of Mexican wrestling, dating back to 1863, is often differentiated by los enmascarados, “the masked ones,” and the matches that pit the “good guys” versus the “bad guys.” Who will you root for, and who will come out on top? Check the line-up so you don’t miss a match.
VENDORS
Hand-picked local vendors that represent the beautiful mix and interests of our community. From record sellers, hand-made goods, boutique brands, onsite customizations, visual art, wearable art, and even a general store, chances are you’ll find something to meet your tastes and needs.
AMENITIES
The multi-acre Infield at Santa Anita Park offers a fun, safe and family-friendly environment with pristine scenery, exceptional service. Offering spacious picnic areas, some semi-covered.
ART INSTALLATIONS
It’s Hello Stranger’s pleasure to feature visuals by Society of Shadows, (our go-to digital video artist and his Felix-the-Cat-sized vintage video collection), adding his touch to our stages. And adding tripped-out treatment to the Santa Anita Park landscape, Stranger Liquids will be greeting your entrance. Get ready for a treat, and more art tricks up our sleeve.
