Now in its third year, Made in America has already become a big player on the summer festival circuit, selling 120,000 tickets in 2013, according to Billboard. Mayor Eric Garcetti expects the L.A. expansion to inject millions into the local community, and while Councilman Jose Huizar expressed safety concerns over the number of attendees and proper street closures around Grand Park, the festival is expected to proceed as normal.
