CicLAvia—Heart of LA
Event Details
On Sunday, October 11; between 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. CicLAvia will celebrate its 16th year and 68th car-free open streets event bringing joy to Angelenos, catalyzing vibrant public spaces, active transportation and good health through car-free streets. CicLAvia—Heart of LA, connects several historic Los Angeles neighborhoods, welcoming everyone of all ages and abilities to enjoy this day of 6.5-mile of open streets. Always free, enjoy the day by walking, jogging, biking, roller skating, skating, chilling, or simply spectating. Participants can show up anywhere along the route between 9am-4pm to enjoy the open streets, take the time to explore, and see where the day takes you.
Imagine streets alive with joy, laughter, and the freedom to roam. CicLAvia is a nonprofit organization that has been opening streets throughout Los Angeles County for 16 years. It transforms city streets into a car-free celebration of community, connection, and possibility — places where participants can slow down, connect, and appreciate the city in a new way. CicLAvia is about reimagining our city streets as welcoming spaces for everyone — places for walking, running, rolling, skating, cycling, gathering, and enjoying the moment.
CicLAvia—Heart of LA includes four (4) hubs filled with plenty of activities and programs along the route. Hubs are walking zones (mandatory dismounts) and meeting points along the route which include the Echo Park Hub located on Bellevue Ave off of Glendale Blvd by the south side of Echo Park Lake; Chinatown Hub located on N Broadway north of College St; Little Tokyo Hub located on S Central Ave south of 1st St; and Mariachi Plaza Hub located on 1st St east of S Boyle Ave. Hubs offer free family-friendly activities, restrooms, free water refilling stations, free basic bike repair, bike parking, places to sit and meet up with friends and family, and first aid. Free pedicab rides are available at each hub’s information booth.
