Who’s excited about four more CicLAvia open streets events coming up this year!? Mark your calendars! Event information and maps included below.
- Sunday August 18 in Hollywood, West Hollywood and East Hollywood
- Sunday September 15 in Lincoln Heights
- Sunday October 13 in the Heart of L.A.: Boyle Heights, Downtown
- Sunday December 8 in the San Fernando Valley
Totaling eight calendar year 2024 events, CicLAvia has already opened South L.A. Western Avenue, Wilmington, Venice Boulevard, and Melrose Avenue.
Kudos to Metro for funding these and other events via its Open Streets Grant Program. All these events are free and family-friendly. Participants can start at any point along the route, and bike, walk, jog, run, skate, scooter, etc. as much as they want.
August 18: Meet the Hollywoods
A month from now, CicLAvia will open 6.6 miles of streets through West Hollywood, Hollywood, and East Hollywood. The event will include an extended stretch of Hollywood Boulevard – including the Walk of Fame – plus portions of Santa Monica Boulevard and Highland Avenue.
More details at CicLAvia event page.
September 15: Lincoln Heights
In September, CicLAvia will host its first ever event in the eastside neighborhood of Lincoln Heights: a 1.2-mile CicLAmini on North Broadway. CicLAminis are shorter routes designed to favor walking, though they, like all CicLAvias remain popular with cyclists.
More details at the CicLAvia event page.
October 13: Heart of L.A.
The very first CicLAvia took place on October 10, 2010, on a route through central Los Angeles, so every year in early October, CicLAvia traditionally returns to a central L.A. route, now called the Heart of L.A.
The route varies slightly year-to-year, but even the 2024 version includes parts of the 2010 spine, including First Street and Central Avenue. This year’s iteration will include the neighborhoods of Boyle Heights, Chinatown, Civic Center, Echo Park, Little Tokyo, Temple-Beaudry, and more. It will feature numerous iconic L.A. sights from Mariachi Plaza, to Echo Park lake, to the dragon gateway, to the new 6th Street Viaduct.
The October central Los Angeles CicLAvia tends to be the most popular CicLAvia of the year. It’s the most transit-accessible route, and a chance to experience many L.A. locales within a short ride or a long walk.
