Lotus Festival schedule for today, Saturday

No lotus flowers in the lake this year, but they are for sale to take home!

We headed down to Echo Park Lake early to get ahold of the Lotus Festival schedule, which is available to anyone at the information booth in the middle of the festival booths. After the jump: Saturday’s schedule and parking tips. You can read about the history of the Lotus Festival by clicking here.

And the big question is always: Will there be fireworks this year?? They didn’t last year, but we will find out. Follow us on Twitter and we’ll announce the info as soon as we learn more!

It appears two of the public parking lots in Echo Park (there are three lots behind Sunset) are restricted, permit parking only. The signs are confusing and not well-placed so keep a sharp eye out for them.In past years they’ve used the elementary schools nearby, so we’re not sure why they’d take up the public parking options.

Street parking is available but minimal – you’re better off parking on Glendale Boulevard or, though the neighbors aren’t fond of it, in the surrounding neighborhoods.

Better yet – walk! If you’re in the ‘hood grab some ice water, a hat or an umbrella, and a fan (it’s hot out there!) and truck it using your own two legs.

See you there!

    Edirne nakliyat güven ve istişare gibi planlamalı adımlarla birlikte, zamanında alınmış tedbirler ve bunun olumlu sonuçları gerçekten müşterilerin tamamını olumlu bir şekilde etkilemeye devam etmektedir. Ambalaj süreci veya diğer planlama aşamalarının her biri memnuniyet veren süreçleri çok detaylı bir şekilde gözden geçirmek durumundadır. Ancak bu şekilde hem piyasaya sahip olmak hem de müşteri memnuniyetini en iyi şekilde geniş bir çerçevede değerlendirmek mümkün olmaktadır. Edirne evden eve nakliyat zorlu yol koşulları ve en zorlu hava şartlarında hiçbir zaman görevi sekteye uğratmayan bir sistemi göstermektedir. Kendi altyapısı ve güvenilir imkânları ile beraber, müşterisine daha iyi hizmet sunmanın planlamasını yapmış şirketler gerçekten burada yeri geldiğinde, tam da denk gelecek bir fırsatı ortaya koymak durumunda olacaktır.
