Get a taste of summer at a neighborhood-wide party on the tree-lined boulevards of Downtown Culver City. What’s an outdoor party without any beer? Join in on $2 craft beer tastings at participating establishments — but leave room for a helping of free food samples and tasty treats. Take advantage of the long warm nights with a stroll from the Kirk Douglas Theatre to the Culver Hotel and beyond, and enjoy the sights and sound of an area that is always hot and happening. Stop by the CicLAvia table where you can enter to win prizes and learn more about next month’s car-free community event, when the streets leading from Downtown Culver City all the way to Venice Beach will be reserved solely for pedestrians and cyclists with live music and festivities throughout the day. Culver City’s downtown area is Southern California’s best kept secret, featuring a wonderful mix of historic buildings, boutiques, theaters, galleries, and unique restaurants opening on to tree-lined streets. Parking is free in municipal structures for up to two hours, or valet parking is available at three convenient Downtown locations. Downtown Culver City is located just south of the 10 Freeway and east of the 405, between the intersection of Culver and Washington Blvds and Duquesne Ave. Wednesday, July 15 from 5 p.m – 9 p.m.
