Event of the Week

4th Annual Downtown Easter Fest

Grand Hope Park @ FIDM

4/8/2012 - 4/8/2012

New City Church of LA invites you to the Fourth Annual Downtown Easter Fest on Sunday, April 8, from 12 noon to 3pm, at the beautiful Grand Hope Park at W. 9th and Hope Streets in Downtown LA. We will have a huge Easter egg hunt, bounce house, face painting, bubbles, arts and crafts, sack race, popcorns, free haircuts, and much much more, all for free to the public.

Last year, we had a great turnout (about 700-1000 people). We are hoping for an even bigger turnout this year. KCBS-TV selected this event as one of the best Easter events in Los Angeles.
