Signature Events
In the LA Social District, we believe that a vibrant neighborhood is one where people come together.
That’s why we produce a variety of engaging events that foster connection, support local businesses, and celebrate the unique spirit of our neighborhood. Our signature events are designed to activate our public spaces, welcome new businesses, and keep our community informed and inspired. Whether you're a longtime stakeholder or a first-time visitor, our events offer a meaningful way to experience everything our district has to offer.
The Emerald Carpet is our way of rolling out the welcome mat — literally. Whenever a new business opens its doors in the LA Social District, we host an Emerald Carpet celebration to introduce them to the neighborhood in style. These lively gatherings attract around 50 guests and feature complimentary light bites and beverages in a casual, welcoming setting. Local stakeholders, business owners, and community members are invited to connect, explore the space, and support our growing district. It's a fun, feel-good way to make sure every new business feels at home from day one.
Building trust and transparency is essential to a safe and thriving community — which is why we host Coffee With a Cop each month in partnership with the LAPD. This casual gathering invites local residents and business owners to sit down over coffee with the officers assigned to the LA Social District. Attendees have the chance to ask questions, voice concerns, and hear directly from law enforcement about current safety issues and crime trends in the neighborhood. The goal is simple: open dialogue, mutual understanding, and a stronger connection between the community and the officers who serve it. Whether you're a business owner wanting updates or a resident with questions, this event is your front-row seat to public safety in the Social District.
Every Saturday, the LA Social District comes alive with fresh flavors and local flair at our Weekly Farmers Market, produced in partnership with FarmHabit. This vibrant open-air market, located on Grande Ave between 10th and 11th, offers a curated selection of seasonal produce, specialty foods, handmade goods, and intimate community vibes against the backdrop of a bustling Downtown LA. From crisp greens and local honey to artisan breads and natural beauty products, it’s the perfect weekend stop to shop small and support local growers and makers. With rotating vendors, live music, and colorful market displays, it's more than just a place to stock up—it's a weekly tradition that brings our community together.
