CicLAvia, in partnership with the LA Phil and Community Arts and Resources, brings this rare treat of open streets to the heart of LA in celebration of the LA Phil's 100th Anniversary. Six hubs along the route will feature art, food trucks, and live music from LA's best musicians, among other activities. The eight-mile, car-free route includes Grand Ave in DTLA, Wishire Blvd, Western Ave in Koreatown, Melrose Ave, and Vine St. into Hollywood. The CicLAvia website has more info and a route map.
