Public access to the iconic building continued with an open house and a 2nd parade on April 28. A truly monumental occasion for Los Angeles! Here's the Engineering Department's Float prepping for the parade! #CityHallDedication @LACity @LAmag @DowntownNews

On April 26, 1928, over 32,000 people, 34 bands took to the streets of Los Angeles for the dedication of City Hall. The parade marked a historic moment, filled with music, speeches, and even an aerial salute by the U.S. Army Aero Squadron 🎉 . #LAcityhall #lahistory

Designed by Chief Engineer Merrill Butler, the bridge remains a historic landmark, designated in 1979. #CesarChavezDay #LAHistory #welovela #ilovela #losangelesdevelopment @LACity

Today is César Chávez Day! ✊ The Macy Street Bridge, now Cesar E. Chavez Ave, played a key role in LA’s growth, linking northern and eastern communities. Originally named for the Macy family, early LA pioneers, it was renamed in 1994 to honor labor leader César Chávez.
