The Lotus Festival returned to Echo Park Lake July 12 and 13. This year’s festival honored the people and culture of Korea.
The Lotus Festival originated in 1972 and is one of the City’s largest festivals and a celebration to promote awareness and understanding of the contributions by the Asian and Pacific Islander people to our culture and to the local and surrounding communities.
A variety of entertainment, Asian food and drinks, booths, artwork, handmade crafts, an eco-friendly area, a children’s courtyard, and other activities were offered.
The annual event is a major focus of the City’s Recreation and Parks Dept., and City Council District 13.
The Club thanks Rec and Parks Photographer JuanCarlos Chan for coordinating these images for Alive!
