Another weekend, another load of Metro accessible stuff to do. Check out Streetsblog L.A.’s fundraiser this Friday and help out a great blog while meeting some people who care about improving transportation in L.A. On Saturday celebrate Japanese culture in Little Tokyo with the return of the annual Cherry Blossom Festival. Sunday is L.A. Heritage Day – a chance to celebrate the history of a city that many people claim has none. People also claim L.A. has no public transportation, but you can easily get to L.A. Heritage Day on the Gold Line. Have an event you’d like us to include? Shoot us an email at thesource@metro.net. Time and space constraints limit us from listing every accessible event in this city, but this curated list represents what we think is cool and easy to get to.

To plan your trip and to check all other transit options, please consult Google Transit or the Metro Trip Planner.
