We've never done the Monterey Park version of New Year celebrations, but this seems a dandy first event for us Hankers! Dress for the weather, wear comfortable shoes and let's meander a a section of Downtown MP!

Parking:
As with all free events, arriving sooner is better than later (for parking AND for accessing vendors).  We're planning on being at the Mark Keppel High School parking lot (at 10:30) and shuttle over. (There are other lots/shuttles listed on the website.)

The event itself:
While most everyone is capable of taking CC payments, bringing some cash isn't a bad idea (systems can fail). Not sure how long it will take us to wander the entirety, but after we finish we can decide if we want to sit and chat at a coffee/boba/tea shop. (Probably near where we parked. I'll look for somewhere.) Since it's only 5 blocks, I doubt it will take us more than 60-90 minutes, so don't plan to come too late or you'll probably miss us.

I'll send my cell to those who plan to attend so we can find each other and wander as a group.

Event details and website:
Sunday, January 22, 2023, 10 a.m.-7 p.m.

There are Westside groups, but it would be great to meet others who are closer… downtown, Silver lake, Echo Park, Lincoln Heights, Vernon - you know, toward the center of things. 😆. But we consider any neighborhood as “downtown adjacent”if it’s on a subway line (Pasadena, Ktown, Hollywood) - so occasionally we’ll venture further out.
