CAR-FREE: Today CicLAvia will be shutting down streets to cars near downtown, MacArthur Park, Boyle Heights and South Los Angeles from 10 am until 3 pm. Here's our guide to the guides, and the event's website.
MOLE: Over 13 variations of Mexican Mole will be presented and available for purchase at the 5th annual “La Feria de Los Moles” (The Mole Fair) in L.A. The event will take place in La Placita Olvera in 845 N Alameda St. from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Entrance is free. For more information, check out our write-up or visit the event's website.
SUSTAINABILITY: Venice's own Abboy Kinney is hosting its annual festival celebrating life on the mile-long stretch in Venice. There will be live music, unique crafts, delicious food—and an emphasis on eco-consciousness. The festival organizers' commitment to sustainability means they want you to recycle, carpool and ride your bike to the festival — and not just because it's Abbot Kinney Fest Day. The festival kicks off at 10 am and lasts until 6 pm. For more information, visit the event's website.
MARINA: Discover Marina del Rey with a free community event open to everybody in Burton W. Chase Park at 13650 Mindanao Way. The event, which goes from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., features live music, inflatables, food, water events, and games. There will also be booths from various environment, health, and safety organizations. For $5, you can also get a wristband that gives access to the attractions in the park. Click here for the official event flyer or call (310) 305-9545.
