**This day is also my 17th anniversary of moving to California!!**
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Celebrate 25 years of Conservancy walking tours! On Saturday, August 13, the Conservancy will throw a birthday party at Pershing Square with an afternoon of free downtown walking tours, live music, and picnicking on the grass.
The Conservancy’s popular Walking Tour Program was conceived on August 13, 1980, and later launched with two tours: Pershing Square Landmarks and Broadway Theaters. Today the program boasts 13 regularly offered walking tours of downtown and other historic communities around the city, led by a docent corps of over 100.
The celebration on August 13 will include a 40-minute “sampler” tour of historic downtown, available at no charge, leaving the park every few minutes between 4:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. Live musical entertainment will be provided by Bossa Nova 2, performing in the park from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Birthday cake will be served at 5:45 p.m. Bring a picnic and join in the party! No reservations are required. For more information, call (213) 623-2489. Co-sponsored by the City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks.
