Back again to Woodley Park in Lake Balboa, after a two-year hiatus, World Fest is re-branding itself as VegFest for the first time this year, bringing many of the same exhibits on the first Sunday in May, including pet adoptions, various animal rights groups, music and a variety of Vegan friendly food options for a Sunday afternoon in the park.
CicLAvia came to the Valley on Sunday March 6th 2016, and allowed participants to be free to walk or bike through the streets without fear of sharing the road with cars. Started over 5 years ago on Oct. 10th 2010, as a project to transform LA from a car only landscape to one where people can actually commune with one another while getting the exercise, the event has revolutionized Southern California in a way that businesses, as shown below, are actually stepping out to interact with people in a way that cannot be done in a car.
The path for CicLAvia- the Valley was four miles- one way starting at San Fernando Blvd on Van Nuys and traveling through Pacoima, Arleta and finally ending in Panorama City on Roscoe Blvd.
Volunteers have brought CicLAvia to cities throughout the LA area, including The Valley, Culver City, Venice, Mar Vista, Wilshire Blvd, MacArthur Park, South LA, Echo Park, Chinatown, Little Tokyo, Boyle Heights, East LA and Pasadena.
The Next CicLAvia event is scheduled for May 15, 2016 in The Southeast Cities.
As previously reported last year, at Woodley park residents came out to experience the vegan lifestyle with sample foods, great music and more.
