To join in, just EMAIL US at [greatlawalk@mail.com](mailto:greatlawalk@mail.com)The Great Los Angeles Walk takes place every year the Saturday before Thanksgiving.
- Walk across the city of Los Angeles. See the city from a new perspective.

- This is NOT a guided tour (but there is a map).
- Walk at your own pace and stop when and where you like.
The journey itself is its own point.L.A. journalist and blogger Michael Schneider launched the Great Los Angeles Walk in 2006 as a way to celebrate his tenth year in Los Angeles. Inspired by the book “Wilshire Boulevard: Grand Concourse of Los Angeles,” by Kevin Roderick, he decided to walk the street’s entire length.
The Great Los Angeles Walk grew from dozens of participants to hundreds, and continues to expand each year – always the Saturday before Thanksgiving -- as more Angelenos join in to explore their city on foot.Details to come on where we will gather, our food options during the day and more.
If you're not familiar with the Walk, please go read this wonderful feature in the Los Angeles Times, which perfectly encapsulated what we're all about:
L.A. isn’t a walking city? The man behind Great Los Angeles Walk would like a wordAs always, the Walk is completely free. It is up to the participants to decide how much or how little of the walk they want to do. More recently, the Walk was included in the book "The Best Things to Do In Los Angeles: 1001 Ideas" by Joy Yoo
Social media users can follow along all day on the walk's official Twitter feed, https://x.com/greatlawalk , as we continually post our location.
