Jenny.....I can remember "May Day" festivities at Echo Park as a little girl back in the late 1950's. Hope this season of activities are a lot of fun!!
This event should draws alot of folks. I miss the Echo Park Lotus Festival. The Lotus died off at Echo Park Lake so they stopped the celebration. There are plans to drain the lake and and clean up the area so hopefully those beautiful flowers will return.
