To kick off PST ART Community Hub activities at LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes, our community partners will come together at LA Plaza to commemorate Fiestas Patrias Family Day.

A calendar with the specific dates for all the activities will be included in the PST ART Community Hub landing page on lapca.org.
The Echo Park Farmers’ Market has grown steadily to become one of the most popular and well-attended of SEE-LA’s certified markets. Every Friday, 15 local farmers set up their tables and offer up a wide variety of produce and value-added products like jams and jellies, honey, and fresh farm-grown flowers. Community and family events are held regularly – and live music helps make this late afternoon and evening market a must-do for the neighborhood.
