Illuminate the 

Night

Illuminate the Night, our biennial festival celebrating music, poetry and dance along the LA River will be back on September 23, 2023, from 6-10 pm. We ask visitors to "bring the light" to help connect Elysian Valley to Cypress Park.  

The event is free, and best attended by walking, biking or using a ride share company. Direct them to one of our 4 drop off locations.
