CicLAvia-South LA, presented by Metro, welcomes everyone of all ages and abilities to its’ 46th car-free open streets event taking place in South Los Angeles along Vermont Ave, between Exposition Blvd to the north and Century Blvd to the south, for the public to jog, ride, bike, skate, run, walk, skateboard, spectate, and enjoy the 6.2-mile route. A highlight of CicLAvia – South LA features Los Angeles County Supervisor Holly J.

This joyous event includes live performances, food trucks, activities, and access to community and county services, and creates a necessary space for celebrating joy and redefining what freedom means today with empowering discussions, performances, and activities. Available resources include on-site record expungement, mental health services, support with tenant protections, and more.

With Hubs and plenty of activities and programs along the route, CicLAvia - South LA will be both fun and engaging for all to enjoy.

CicLAvia-South LA will have four hubs:

Vermont Slauson Hub located on Vermont between Slauson Ave and Gage Ave; 

Westmont Hub located on Vermont between Manchester Ave and 92nd St; and 

Juneteenth Hub located on Century Ave at Western Ave.

Free pedicab rides, sponsored by AARP, are available at each information booth. Inspired by Bogotá’s weekly ciclovía, CicLAvia has been temporarily closing streets to car traffic and opening them as public parks in Los Angeles since 2010. Now, with more than 275 miles of open streets, these beloved, always free-to-attend events are a celebration of L.A.’s diverse and vibrant communities. 

CicLAvia car-free streets connect all of us to the neighborhoods where we live, work, shop, learn, and play. Active participants at CicLAvia use people-powered mobility to navigate public streets in a safe and joyful way. Along the way there is shopping at local businesses, access to cultural and architectural gems, using open streets as spaces to connect with each other, and making a positive impact on the environment by creating a more sustainable and climate-resilient city and region. 

Over the past 13 years, CicLAvia has helped communities re-imagine a greener and cleaner Los Angeles, while also promoting equitable transportation options, healthier lifestyles, and closer connections to the community.
