On Sunday, August 17th, CicLAvia will celebrate its 61st car-free open streets event catalyzing vibrant public spaces, active transportation and good health through car-free streets. CicLAvia—Culver City meets Venice connects Culver City, Mar Vista, and Venice, welcoming everyone of all ages and abilities to enjoy this day-long 6.75-mile pop-up park. Always free, you can enjoy the day by walking, jogging, biking, skating, or simply spectating at CicLAvia. Participants can show up anywhere along the route between 9 AM to 4 PM to enjoy the open streets, take the time to explore, and see where the day takes you.
The CicLAvia—Culver City meets Venice route is accessible via many different forms of transportation. There is not one place to start or finish. The route includes Culver Blvd, Washington Blvd, and Washington Place to Centinela, connecting to Venice and Grand. There will be ten crossing streets for traffic to pass. A map of the CicLavia event route can be found online. Please note, if you are biking to and from CicLAvia along any streets that are open to cars, it is at the discretion of the individual.
The event includes four hubs filled with plenty of activities and programs along the route. Hubs are walking zones (mandatory dismounts) and meeting points along the route which includes the Arts District Hub located on Washington Blvd, west of McManus; Downtown Culver City Hub located on Culver Blvd near the Culver Hotel; Mar Vista Hub located on Venice Blvd west of Beethoven; and the Venice Beach Hub located along Windward Circle. Hubs offer family-friendly activities, restrooms, free water refilling stations, free basic bike repair, bike parking, places to sit and meet up with friends and family, and first aid. Free pedicab rides are available at each hub’s information booth. In addition to the four hubs, there will be a Pit Stop on Washington Place, east of McLaughlin Ave, with water, restrooms, and basic bike repair available.
As a nonprofit organization, CicLAvia relies on the public’s support to continue bringing opportunities for meaningful community connections, mindful exploration, and greater understanding across Los Angeles.
