Between Elysian Park and the Los Angeles River, there’s always something fun and creative going on. Many of the locals are actively involved in bringing the river back to life with fundraisers and events. Dozens of artists, film screenings, music, performances and food venues make the annual Frog Town Art Walk a very special event for the entire family.
The event stretches from Fletcher St to Eads (1.3 miles along the LA River). The Artwalk has more than 30 venues showing art. There are 3 official Artwalk stages with music: Marsh Park 2, Frogspot, and the Elysian Valley Community Garden at Rich Street. Six illuminated art installations light the LA River Path. Free full color printed program for the Artwalk with information on all the venues, artists, music and events. Frogtown Artwalk official information can be found at FrogtownArts.com.

Real Estate News – New Condominiums to Open For Sale Soon
The L.A. Loft Blog is not affiliated with River House
New information has been released with details on the new River House condos now completing construction on the Los Angele River in the Elysian Valley, also known as Frog Town.
It is described as an eclectic collection of 56 stylish townhomes and flats (so far, see nothing eclectic, townhome-like nor flat-like as the construction continues to look more like a common, albeit new, apartment-style condo complex). We certainly agree that River House offers the chance to be part of history in the making as the residents will be among the first to witness first hand the revitalization of the LA River. The Los Angeles River is in the preliminary planning stages of a possible $25 billion facelift.
Just steps away from a popular new bicycle path and kayaking area of the river, the new condominiums are also next to the large, new Marsh Park.
