Big Parade LA

They say (or, rather, The Missing Persons sing) nobody walks in LA, but one weekend every year, a huge group of people do a whole lot of walking in LA. The Big Parade LA is a two-day, 80-staircase, 35-mile walking journey through LA's neighborhoods. Join community members and neighbors for part of the Big Parade—the event runs on a timetable to make it easy to catch up with the group—or the whole thing. Did we mention there are 80 public staircases involved? This year's trek stretches from Downtown (starting in Grand Park) to Los Feliz. Check the Big Parade's Facebook page for updates, details about the journey and where to meet up with group.
