Presented in collaboration with Free the Streets
A FREE event for all ages*

Saturday, 11/5, 11am-2pm
Meetup: Mercado La Paloma (3655 S. Grand Ave. Los Angeles 90007)
Gather: 10:45am
Ride: 11:00am

As with all Folk Art Bike Rides, we’ll mix an exploration of art, neighborhoods, and unique community gathering spots. This time we’ll focus on Historic South Central LA, which includes LA’s old jazz district. This is also a special ride as it will serve as a “feeder” ride to Free the Streets, a party and fundraiser to support CicLAvia’s extension into South LA (at Mercado La Paloma). We will ride part of the proposed route, learn about spots like the African American Firefighter Museum, and ride along Central Ave., home of the legendary Dunbar Hotel, an LA jazz hotspot in the 1930s and 1940s, where we'll also get a sneak peak into the collection of Brian Breye's Museum in Black.
