This summer, Los Angeles will shut down nearly 7 miles of streets between East and West Hollywood for CicLAvia—Meet the Hollywoods. This open‑streets event will remove cars from major corridors and turn them into a giant, people‑powered park.
Miles of pure freedom, from East to West Hollywood
CicLAvia is a Los Angeles-based nonprofit that has been opening streets to people and closing them to cars across LA County since 2010. The most recently announced event will take place on July 19, and it marks the organization’s 67th open streets event, this time presented by Metro.
The concept is straightforward: a defined route gets closed to vehicle traffic for a set window of time, and the street becomes a free, open-to-all park for the day. This new event will open a 6.6-mile corridor connecting East Hollywood, Hollywood and West Hollywood, from 9 am to 4 pm. No cars, no traffic lights to obey, no parking anxiety — just open asphalt stretching through some of LA’s most iconic, electric neighborhoods. Walk it. Run it. Bike it. Skate it. Or simply sit back, sip an iced coffee from a local café and watch the city move.
What makes this edition especially exciting is the route itself. The corridor threads through three distinct Hollywood area neighborhoods, each with its own personality, its own energy, and its own reasons to slow down and look around. It’s a cross-section of the city, stitched together for one day by nothing but foot traffic and forward momentum. Few events in LA let you move through that much cultural geography without a car. Since Metro is the presenting sponsor of the event, transit connections to the Hollywood corridor will be a really practical option for most Angelenos!
