Los Angeles history comes alive at the 8th-annual Los Angeles Archives Bazaar. Organized by L.A. as Subject and presented by the USC Libraries, the annual event celebrates the diversity of Southern California’s history. For scholarly researchers, journalists, history buffs, and those simply interested in exploring the stories of Los Angeles, discovery awaits everyone at the Archives Bazaar. This event is free and open to the public.
The Archives Bazaar draws its strength from the breadth and variety of its participants’ collections. Large institutions will be represented at the bazaar along with smaller organizations and private collections whose materials fill the gaps left in the city’s official history. In all, more than 80 archives are expected to be represented.
A rich suite of programming complements the rare historical materials on display.

Join us in the cemetery under the full moon for the classic 80s horror masterpiece from director John Landis (Animal House, Thriller).
Wild dream sequences, creature effects, and stark, spooky camerawork make for a remarkably eerie mood. Landis masterfully weaves biting suspense and horrifying gore with a dry sense of humor, a combination that makes this one of the most fun, and scary, horror films of all times.
DJs Turquoise Wisdom and Elijah Wood (Wisdom Wood) spin before and after the screening.

“Greenway 2020″ is the namesake of the visionary campaign recently launched by the The LA River Corporation. The 10K race is the inaugural run/ walk event planned through 2020, wherein each year we’ll increase the course distance, while still hosting a 10K, to a 20-mile run that will coincide with the completion of the vision created by the LARRC. A portion of all proceeds, including 100% of donations on race-day, will go directly to the LARRC and their mission. We could not be prouder to host this important event and bring more awareness to the communities surrounding the LA River.
The LA River Corporation is a non-profit venture charged with catalyzing responsible real estate and related economic development along the LA River. Our mission is to transform the LA River to improve people’s lives by carrying out sustainable land use projects, advocacy for river friendly policy, and programs for community benefit.
The LAARC is working to create a continuous 51-mile greenway corridor that will run along a restored LA River – the Greenway 2020 campaign. Greenway 2020 is a movement bringing together all Angelenos to realize a new vision for the Los Angeles River by the year 2020. Our Greenway 2020 campaign is working with public and private partners to complete a continuous 51-mile Greenway adjacent to the LA River by the year 2020. The Greenway will be a public destination worthy of our city—complete with sustainable parks, gathering space, potential green energy sources, and dining amenities. Our mission is to transform not only the river, but also how people engage with the river and the city. Join us in creating a new way for LA, and get involved.
