The Los Angeles River is iconic. Follow its 51 miles. Endless tributaries of tastes, characters, stories, colors, and sounds. Come explore the L.A. River in a way you've never seen it before, in a series of entertaining immersive experiences to benefit River LA. Each night starts with the mythical story of geologist Dr. Alison Vincent in her quest to unlock the untold stories and voices behind the Los Angeles River. More than 60 artists have built five parallel stories for you to explore through an innovative new medium, bringing the multicultural past, present, and future of the L.A. River to life.
