Venice Electric Light Parade

The Venice Electric Light Parade (VELP) is a weekly celebration of creativity, community, and sustainability, lighting up Venice Beach every Sunday at sunset. Starting at Windward Plaza, this beloved community event brings together locals and visitors for an unforgettable experience that showcases the unique spirit of Venice Beach. Founded to inspire joy and connection, VELP invites participants of all ages and skill levels to join the ride on decorated bikes, scooters, skates, and other light-up personal transportation. With a commitment to sustainability, the parade emphasizes eco-friendly practices and encourages the use of human-powered vehicles to celebrate Venice’s vibrant culture and environmental consciousness. More than just a parade, VELP fosters a sense of belonging and collaboration. It provides a safe, welcoming space for self-expression, creativity, and connection among residents and visitors alike. Over the years, the parade has become a cultural institution, building bridges across diverse communities and reminding us all of the power of shared experiences. In addition to the weekly ride, VELP is dedicated to growing its impact through partnerships, events, and outreach efforts. We’re committed to preserving Venice Beach’s iconic identity and supporting its artistic and cultural legacy. Join Us! Whether you’re looking to participate, volunteer, or simply cheer us on, the Venice Electric Light Parade welcomes you to be part of this magical experience. Let’s light up Venice Beach together!
