Food, art, architecture, and numerous LA landmarks dot the 6 mile CicLAvia—Heart of LA Celebrating UCLA100 route. You’ll find points of interest everywhere, but we’re highlighting a select few that you won’t want to miss.

CicLAvia—Meet the Hollywoods was our first foray into many parts of West Hollywood, Hollywood, East Hollywood, Thai Town, and Little Armenia. We invited first-time communities and participants into the car-free streets, and countless Angelenos explored neighborhoods they may have never truly experienced before.

Close out August and welcome September with fun things to do that won’t break the bank. Here is a list of free events happening across LA County over the next two weeks. 

Keep the good times rolling this week after Sunday’s epic CicLAvia. From a public concert in Santa Monica to an end-of-summer block party in Beverly Hills, here are some fun, free events to help you continue riding high.

CicLAvia—Meet the Hollywoods is on Sunday, August 18, and the days leading up to it are full of other free things to do. From a yoga class in Pasadena to an art tour around Beverly Hills and an art workshop in DTLA, there’s loads of fun this week as we cruise into CicLAvia Sunday. 

Get out and explore with these fun, free events happening across LA County, from an LA River nature tour to helping with the orange harvest and previewing the August 18 CicLAvia route, and more.

There’s plenty to be excited about exploring along our 6.5-mile route on August 18. The communities along the way are home to a diverse collection of historic and cultural sites, great bars and restaurants, and unique street art. To help us all get ready, we asked four elected leaders what they’re most excited for us to explore in their communities. 

July was busy, but if this week is any indication, August is going to be just as full of fun (including CicLAvia—Meet the Hollywoods on August 18). From walking tours to art tours to music festivals and outdoor movie nights, there is something for everyone. 

Between West Hollywood’s Rainbow Crosswalk and East Hollywood’s Barnsdall Art Park, the August 18 CicLAvia—Meet the Hollywoods event features a rich menu of local gems to explore. 

Say goodbye to July by having fun at these free events happening across the LA region this week.
