In addition to some of LA’s best green vendors, Green City Fair offers a full day of fun, family-friendly activities, great food, and entertainment: forest scavenger hunts for the whole family, Upcycling crafts with the reDiscover Center, live music, eco-friendly cooking demonstrations, prizes and giveaways.

There are two ways to get to Green City Fair:  By free shuttle service every 15 minutes from Westfield Fashion Square Mall (14006 Riverside Drive, Sherman Oaks, 91423). Look for the TreePeople signs at the ground level parking lot near Woodman Avenue behind Sports Authority.  Or, by hiking along beautiful nature trails. From nearby Franklin Canyon Park (2600 Franklin Canyon Dr. Beverly Hills, 90210) parking is free. The hike is 15-20 min., and is along a paved road (easy to moderate hiking ability). Or from nearby Wilacre Park (3431 Fryman Rd. Studio City, 91604) parking is $3. The hike is 30 min., along a hilly fire road (moderate hiking ability). Hiking with Heart will lead hikes to TreePeople on the half hour from 9:30-11.

As a parent who spent over 12 hours on site volunteering at CHAMPSFEST, I must say that CHAMPSRead More Parent's assessment above of the circumstances is exactly correct.

Dear Hollietiger, CHAMPSFEST2013 was an awesome experience for my child. She was there all day andRead More had the best time. When I dropped her off I saw a slew of security personnel checking bags and wanding. She told me security was there immediately and a medic on hand. Her friend is fine and is going to school Monday morning. The hammer was from a vendor. The kid could have grabbed one of the stakes from a tent or a chair. Things happen, but I trust that the school and the administrators did the right thing. It's very counter productive and irresponsible to write things when you don't know the facts. I will support and trust CHAMPS and my daughter is already looking forward to next years CHAMPSFEST.

First of all, I don't know where your child got his information but he is quite uninformed. HeRead More obviously was believing all the rumors spreading at then end of the event. The victim's skull WAS NOT "cracked open and ... bleeding everywhere." CHAMPSFEST 2013 was a public event, therefore open to the PUBLIC. CHAMPS (the school) has no control of mental competency of attendants from other schools. Security was there in droves to protect the entire venue. As far as nothing being reported that is also FALSE. The kid was NOT taken away in handcuffs. Police were there and it is confidential information that was not released to the general population and is not a matter of public record. Second of all, the resources provided by the city were there as a backup (you mentioned "2 ambulances, police fire trucks... Not really sure what police fire trucks are but that's besides the point). We wanted to make sure that in this case of emergency all bases were covered and the safety of the victim was going to be treated properly. Next time you hear about an incident, I would consider the reputation of the people who worked so hard to put on the event and let them handle the situation before posting incorrect information to the entire community.
