CicLAvia, the open street bike festival, is returning to Los Angeles County after a pause due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The first events will take place Aug. 15 in Wilmington, Oct. 10 in downtown Los Angeles and Dec. 5 in South Los Angeles, the nonprofit that runs the events announced. Exact routes have not yet been released.
