LA Made, Park Powered
This Summer Block Party is more than music. It is a celebration of who we are. All across the park, artists and community groups are bringing interactive activities, bold visuals, and space to get creative together.
Terrick Gutierrez presents a powerful visual installation that invites you to pause, reflect, and take it in
Las Fotos Project and Side Street Projects will host hands-on art experiences for all ages
Step into Little Los Angeles, an immersive activation by Bruce Lemon Jr. and Cornerstone Theater Company, designed to spark conversations about culture, identity, and what it means to belong in a city as vibrant as ours
👨👩👧👦 Family Fun Zone
The Family Fun Zone is back and bigger than ever.
Climb aboard the 75 foot Ferris wheel for sweeping views of Downtown LA or race down the 90 foot Super Slide for a thrill you will not forget.
Cool down and make a big splash at the Splash Pad, where little ones and grown ups alike can play in the heart of the park.
This is your summer playground filled with joy, motion, and unforgettable memories.
End the night with a spectacular 3D Drone Show by Grizzly Entertainment, an eco friendly alternative to fireworks that lights up the night sky for a breathtaking show you will not want to miss!
