SoRo Fest 2017 :A celebration of the Emerald Blvd. was held on Jun 4, 2017 at 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Celebrating it’s 20th year the South Robertson Community Festival drew many individuals and families from across the city to discover and enjoy the live music stage, tree adoption, and vendor booths highlighting neighborhood businesses, community information and a variety of merchandise. The Kiddies enjoyed Camp SORO Kids Zone with attractions, a rock-climbing wall and free arts and crafts.
The Oz-like theme of this year’s festival was “South Robertson: The Emerald Blvd.” honoring South Robertson Blvd. in its official designation as one of Los Angeles’s “Great Streets.”
