LA Times Offers Two Passes to Food Bowl 2026

The Los Angeles Times is offering one grand prize: two general admission weekend passes to Food Bowl 2026, a two-day event featuring unlimited food and drinks prepared by Los Angeles restaurants and bars. It’s scheduled for Friday, Oct. 23, and Saturday, Oct. 24, at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica.

What the Prize Includes

The prize covers two general admission tickets for both event days, general admission parking each night and two event-exclusive tote bags made locally in collaboration with Big Bud Press. The contest listing calls them two L.A. Times Food Classic canvas totes. Their approximate retail value is $626, and prize restrictions apply.

The passes provide general admission. The event includes the 101 Best Restaurants Reveal Party presented by OpenTable and Square. Contest information says Los Angeles restaurants and bars prepare the food and drinks, but it doesn’t name individual restaurants or describe the menu.

Only people who meet the eligibility rules may enter. Entrants must be at least 21 years old and legal residents of Los Angeles, Orange or San Diego County. The contest is void where prohibited. No purchase is necessary.

Entry Rules and Deadline

The entry period opened Oct. 15, 2026, at 2:00:01 p.m. PT. Entries close Oct. 20, 2026, at 11:59:59 p.m. PT. That deadline falls four calendar days after Oct. 16, 2026, according to the contest dates.

Eligible entrants can submit a form at latimes.com/giveaway. The rules allow one entry per person and one per email address. The number of eligible entries received determines the odds of winning, according to the contest terms.

The contest awards one grand prize. It consists of two GA weekend tickets to the 2026 Los Angeles Times Food Bowl, GA parking each night and two canvas totes. The stated approximate retail value applies to the prize package, not a separate cash award; the contest information lists no cash alternative.

Sponsor and Event Details

Los Angeles Times Communications LLC sponsors the contest. Its listed address is 2300 E. Imperial Hwy., El Segundo, CA 90245. The offer covers the Food Bowl event in Santa Monica, while eligibility is limited to legal residents of the three named counties who are at least 21.

The contest information describes an event promotion and its entry conditions. It doesn’t report any change to government authority, immigration rules, demographic policy or national sovereignty, and it identifies no political or nationalist opposition to the event. The stated terms cover who may enter, how many times a person may enter, the closing time, the prize contents and the sponsor. Entrants can use the listed form before the deadline, subject to eligibility requirements and prize restrictions.
