CicLAvia and our partners are leading conversations and movements across Los Angeles for safer streets, connected communities, and more expansive urban parks. As our Executive Director Romel Pascual observes, “It’s always been CicLAvia’s mission to have people reimagine what their streets could and should look like.”

We are so thankful for the incredible response to our Giving Tuesday Now campaign. You invested in miles of smiles and memories to come. Together, we donated over 1200 meals to the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank! It was an inspiring day for the CicLAvia community.

For nearly 10 years now, we shared stories and experiences on LA’s streets and showed what it means to be connected as a community. We supported local businesses, celebrated arts and culture, and were enriched by local gems along every route. Together we celebrated all aspects of LA’s diversity, and what makes LA special.

Since 2010, CicLAvia has transformed and engaged communities all across Los Angeles County. Today, CicLAvia is recognized as the nation’s most-skilled producer of car-free street events, connecting Angelenos to each other through a shared sense of adventure.

CicLAvia’s 10th anniversary year is underway, after kicking off our 35th event in South Los Angeles this past Sunday, February 23. Across 6 miles of Central Avenue, from the north-end Jazz District and South Central down into Florence-Firestone and Watts (all the way to the edge of Watts Towers), CicLAvians jogged, cycled, skated, rollerbladed, walked, and rolled their way through our first open streets event of the year.

An abundance of street art, restaurants, and historical landmarks lined the route - including new tributes to Kobe Bryant in Watts.

Amid lawn games, breakfast tacos, raffle giveaways, sneak peeks at the 2020 season, and bottomless mimosas, CicLAvia kicked off its 10th anniversary year at our CeLAbrate! fundraiser and are ready to launch our first event of 2020, CicLAvia—South LA on February 23.

More than that, it was an opportunity for long-term fans and the newly initiated to reminisce on a decade of open streets events in Los Angeles. Through news clippings and photos, attendees saw how much our city has changed -- and were eager to credit some of the improvements to the increased demand for community-oriented public events like CicLAvia.

A wealth of cuisine, culture, architecture, art, history, and outdoor activities line CicLAvia’s brand new, 6-mile route through South Central, Florence-Firestone, and Watts, along the legendary Central Avenue in South LA.

When you explore the open streets with us on February 23, you’ll have the opportunity to experience these neighborhoods in a new way, and discover (or re-discover) LA history right around the corner.

We are celebrating our 10th anniversary and kicking off the year with an all-ages party in support of our 2020 season.

Whether you buy a ticket or make a donation to join us in spirit, thank you for helping CicLAvia create a more vibrant and healthy Los Angeles one ride, walk, stroll, roll, dance, run, smile at a time.

CicLAvians took to Sherman Way on Sunday, December 8, for an open streets event that was both rain *and* shine. 

Five miles of Sherman Way, through the neighborhoods of Canoga Park, Winnetka and Reseda, was aglow – and not just from puddles. We saw first-time cyclists, families walking together, runners 're-fueling' at food trucks, and people playing in the open streets.

Public parks, iconic buildings, street art, and hidden bike routes thrive in the open space of the San Fernando Valley, and many are accessible from the CicLAvia—The Valley route. Neighborhood locals and visitors to Canoga Park, Winnetka, and Reseda may find something new in the area.
