The open-streets festival is designed to reconnect residents with their neighbors and community, while supporting local businesses and encouraging healthy outdoor activities.

Two more similar events are planned this year -- on Oct. 9 in downtown Los Angeles and Dec. 4 in South Los Angeles.

CicLAvia officials have said more than 1.6 million people have taken part in the events over the years.
