L.A. is swamped year-round in festivals and fairs (here's just a sample), but underneath the big headliners and big county affairs are the small-town ferias that happen in largely working-class districts such as Pico-Union and MacArthur Park on a pretty regular basis, drawing mostly neighborhood people. These generally consist of a few roving, rickety amusement rides and some concession stands, on a blocked-off street, park, or public school campus. Here's a video I spotted on The Jimson Weed Gazette from a feria in MacArthur Park, on blocked-off Wilshire Boulevard, I believe. It's not much, but you get the idea:
The site has nice photos of L.A. Know of any other good L.A. photoblogs that we should watch? * Via this post Chicken Corner.
