Annual Celebrate Our Heritage Walk and Bike to L.A.

In 1781, a group of early settlers known as Los Pobladores made the great trek from the San Gabriel Mission to what is now Olvera Street and founded what became the bustling city of Los Angeles. Their historic walk birthed the Los Angeles region, and on Aug. 27 locals will reenact that journey to honor the region's history.
The nine-mile Celebrate Our Heritage Walk and Bike to L.A. begins at 6 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 27. Registration is free and will be available on the morning of the event.

|

Each month in the new "Arts Corner" of the Mission Playhouse website, the Playhouse will highlight important ways that the arts benefit the community.
This week's topic is tourism, which is a great benefit to San Gabriel that the arts at the Playhouse bring. One recent example was the filming of IFC's "Documentary Now" television show last month, which drew large crowds to the Mission District.
