December 13 & 14 • 11:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.

Enjoy hands-on activities, live music and dance, local food and artisanal vendors, interactive workshops, and more. Come celebrate the magic of open streets while connecting with friends, neighbors, and the rich culture of City Terrace during the holiday season.

A bold, high-contrast event poster with a neon yellow background and bright blocky lettering that says “LA County’s Camino City Terrace — Presented by Metro.” Below the title is a green silhouette skyline with playful icons: a musician, a cyclist, a person walking, a piñata, and local building shapes. Event details appear in large text: “11AM–3PM, December 13 & 14” and the same date in Spanish. The English paragraph invites attendees to experience City Terrace with live music, dancing, food, vendors, crafts, and family activities on 1.6 miles of car-free streets. The Spanish paragraph repeats the same messaging. Along the bottom, a playful row of words says “WALK — CAMINA — BIKE — BICI — RUN — CORRE — FREE! — ¡GRATIS!” The footer includes event contact info and logos for Metro, LA County Public Works, and Supervisor Hilda L. Solis.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can we call this event the first car-free event of this magnitude in City Terrace?

Yes. This is the inaugural, grant-funded event, and LA County is excited to deliver it with support from its funding partner, Metro.

When do streets close and when will they reopen?

Streets will begin closing at 7:00 a.m. for participant safety. We ask community members to move their vehicles by that time. Streets will reopen as soon as possible after the event ends at 3:00 p.m., and no later than 7:00 p.m.

Can cars remain parked on the marked streets before the event? Will they be towed?

Vehicles parked on the event route after 7:00 a.m. on December 13 and 14 are subject to ticketing and possible towing.

LA County is working to secure free parking between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. on December 13 and 14 at:

  • Harrison Elementary School

  • Marengo St., between City Terrace and Evergreen

Additional resident parking will be available at the City Terrace Park parking lot. Details will be shared with the community prior to the event.

A bright event flyer showing a detailed street map of City Terrace in East Los Angeles. The map highlights a 1.6-mile “Camino City Terrace” route in bright green, running along City Terrace Drive and Hazard Avenue. Two activity hubs are marked with red labels: “Ditman Hub” on City Terrace Drive near Pomeroy Street, and “City Terrace Park Hub” near City Terrace Park on Hazard Avenue. A third location, “323 Food & Flea,” is marked at the top right of the route. Small brown bridge icons indicate two car-crossing points. A public parking icon appears near Marengo Street and another near City Terrace Park. Above the map, event information appears in both English and Spanish: “December 13 & 14, 11am–3pm. City Terrace Drive and Hazard Avenue will be closed to cars between 7am–7pm.” The Spanish text mirrors the same details. The bottom of the flyer contains a legend explaining the icons, plus contact info, Metro and LA County logos, and Hilda L. Solis’ First District seal.
