Pico FESTIVAL 2012 Sunday, Oct. 28 10 a.m.-5 p.m.

T

he Pico Boulevard Festival began seven years ago and at that time it was called “Pico Artists at Work” because many artists and businesses prepared demonstrations of their particular art. Next, the festival was called “Pico Art Walk and Classic Car Show” to highlight the many auto businesses on the boulevard. For the festival any merchant can participate free of charge at Virginia Avenue Park as well as at their place of business. Then, we changed the name to “Pico Festival and Classic Car Show.”

4

We encouraged visitors to visit the businesses on festival day, but found that the entire boulevard is a long a stretch of sidewalk, so in recent years our efforts have been to enhance the participation and activities at Virginia Avenue Park.

And finally this year we have “The Pico Fall Festival” at the Santa Monica Civic Center parking lot. We think you and your family will have a lot of fun getting to know Pico!
