"BloomfestLA features live indie music, great brews, good food, and eco-friendly fun. No other neighborhood in the City of Los Angeles other than the Downtown Arts District can truthfully boast a community with such a commitment to sustainable living — after all, where else can you find a place where residents repurposed rundown industrial buildings and transformed them into homes and creative spaces, maintaining them even during unprecedented times of change and neighborhood gentrification?"
