What is CicLAvia?

CicLAvia is a non-profit, car-free streets initiative that organizes events that temporarily transform city streets into public parks for the Los Angeles community to bike, skate, run, walk, scoot, dance, and play. This event is free, family-friendly, and open to the public. For the first time, CicLAvia is coming to Melrose Avenue (from Fairfax to Vermont) on Sunday, February 25th from 9 am to 3 pm!

Here’s what MTP vendors and patrons, as well as CicLAvia participants interested in visiting MTP, can expect.

Event: 9am – 3pm
STREET CLOSURE: 6am – 5pm
NO PARKING: 1am-5pm

The CicLAvia route will be closed to car traffic from approximately 6am to 5pm, and there will be no parking on the route from 1am to 5pm that day. There will be 6 major intersections for cars to cross the route, including Melrose/La Brea. Fairfax Ave will remain fully open.
