Broadway will act as LA’s showcase starting Sunday, September 29th with “Pop-Up Broadway,” a two-day range of cultural activities along the historic street. The event is happening in tandem with CityLab 2014, a conference held by The Atlantic and happening along Broadway, that brings together 300+ of the world’s top mayors, urban experts, city planners, writers, technologists, economists, and designers to foster constructive dialogue and create urban solutions.
On Sunday, September 28 and Monday, September 29, the stretch of Broadway from Olympic to 7th Street will come alive with street performers, cultural programming, site-specific visual arts installations, pop-up storefronts, plein air painters, dancers, musicians, bike rentals and video projections:
“Pop-Up Broadway” culminates Monday night with CityLab: Making LA, an evening of prominent Angelenos like Mayor Eric Garcetti, Roy Choi, Bettina Korek and others, discussing the urban evolution of Los Angeles. Tickets for CityLab: Making LA, happening at the Theater at Ace Hotel, are available here. Use discount code HCBACE for a Historic Core local discount.
Pop-Up Broadway is presented by the Office of Mayor Eric Garcetti, the Great Streets Studio, the Los Angeles Department of Transportation and the Los Angeles City Department of Cultural Affairs in conjunction with Councilmember José Huizar’s Bringing Back Broadway Initiative.
