  • Sunday August 18 in Hollywood, West Hollywood and East Hollywood
  • Sunday September 15 in Lincoln Heights

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.

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.

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.

December 8: San Fernando Valley

There’s no map yet for the December 8 Valley CicLAvia; check the CicLAvia event page later for information.
