If you’re around the LA area between late March and early April, you should definitely check out their bounty of Easter eventss. From outdoor egg hunts to delicious brunches around every corner, there’s lots to see, do and eat during this spring time event.
Instead of driving yourself around (it can get pretty crowded at these events), you could do it with an experienced chauffeur taking over the steering wheel. Here at our Los Angeles ground transportation service, we understand the importance of spending quality time with your loved ones and we strive to provide each and every one of our customers with a comfortable ride so that they can relax and fully enjoy this special time together.
There’s going to be a lot happening before and during Easter, so we’ve compiled a list of all the good places to hit up:
Blessing of The Animals
In case you’re not familiar with this event, your guess is still going to be right: the animals are going to be blessed. Expect to mingle with larger companions such as bedecked cows and dogs to furry hamsters and even stationary iguanas. If you’ll like to participate with your pet, just make sure to get them properly leashed or contained as you wouldn’t want a sudden animal stampede in the middle of Olvera Street. The entire procession will be led by Archbishop Jose Gomez who will conduct the blessing honours.
Venue: El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument, 532 Olivera St., LA, CA 90013
Time & Date: From 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. (31 March 2018)
Admission: Free
