Join us for a fun day of eco-friendly activities, education, nature, community, art, and music along the LA River in Frogtown. Over a dozen venues will host community booths, live music, DJs, poetry, food pop-ups, workshops, crafting, and family-friendly activities centered on climate change, ecology, recycling, and sustainability — all woven into an afternoon of community connection along the river.
This car-free, low-impact neighborhood crawl invites you to experience the river on foot or by bike, stopping at local venues, pocket parks, and gathering points along the way. You’ll also hear from voices across the neighborhood about the vision taking shape just across the water at Taylor Yard, where a former rail yard is being transformed into 100 acres of public park space, the largest new green space in Los Angeles since Griffith Park.
Walk on over, ride your bike, bring the dogs, the kids, and grandma! Just leave the car at home. We have three ride-share drop-off/pick-up points in the neighborhood.
Ride Share Drop-Off/Pick-Up Locations:
- 2498 Crystal St., Los Angeles, 90039
- 2902 Knox Ave, Los Angeles, 90039 – Wax Paper
- 1767 Blake Ave, Los Angeles, 90031 – Bauer Pottery
