The 8-mile stretch of cement is known as the 110 freeway, the Arroyo Seco Parkway, the Pasadena Freeway or State Route 110, was formally opened in 1940, becoming — by most accounts — the first-ever freeway in America.
For the first time in 20 years, pedestrians, cyclists, roller skaters and anyone else on non-motorized wheels will be able to traverse nearly the entire stretch of the 110 freeway between downtown LA and Pasadena. Dubbed ArroyoFest, the family-friendly event seeks to reclaim one of Southern California’s most scenic and historic stretches of road. Kicking off at 7 a.m. sharp on Sunday, October 29, ArroyoFest will allow for four hours of uninterrupted pedestrian and cyclist access to the freeway.
