LOS ANGELES - May 14, 2014 - PRLog -- Los Angeles, CA — This year's 17th Annual SoRo Community Festival will take place on Sunday, June 1, 2014 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The SoRo Community Festival will be located on South Robertson Boulevard between Beverlywood St. and Cattaraugus St. (just North of 10 Freeway at the Robertson Boulevard exit).

Open to the public, the SoRo Festival features a live music stage, “CampSoRo” offering attractions, a rock-climbing wall and free arts & crafts for children, and over 60 vendor booths highlighting neighborhood businesses, community information and a variety of merchandise.  This year’s theme is “Many Neighborhoods Create One Great Community!”

The SoRo Festival will also serve up a variety of culinary delights from some of Los Angeles’ hottest gourmet food trucks, including Fat Burger, Bool Korean BBQ Tacos & Pastels, Currywurst Truck, Trailer Park Truck, Kosher Palate, Frozen Crush and King Kone Ice Cream Co.

The SoRo Festival stage will spotlight live musical and dance performances from some of SoCal’s talented young performers, with scheduled appearances by World Garden Dance and Music Studio, Kids of Rock Theatre, Spanish and Classical Flamenco Dance by Susana Elena and the top 40 and Latin soul sound of The Westside Crew.

In addition there will be a separate Public Safety Pavilion hosted by SoRo Neighborhoods Council with many exhibits and demonstrations by “First Responders” such as LAPD and LAFD.

A non-profit undertaking, staffed entirely by volunteers, the SoRo Festival celebrates the broad diversity and sense of unity that exists among the some 45,000 people who live or work in the seven neighborhoods encompassed in the South Robertson community.  It encourages beautification and revitalization of the SoRo corridor, where people can shop, dine, and enjoy a good quality of life, and it is committed to strengthening local educational institutions.

Boasting an attendance of between 8,000 – 12,000 people who attend each year, the SoRo Festival’s proceeds support local schools and community improvement projects. The SoRo Community Festival is coordinated by the South Robertson Neighborhoods Council and SoRo, Inc.

We would like to invite the entire Southern California community to join our event.  Admission to the SoRo Community Festival is free.  Free street parking is also available.
