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!
