Pershing Square Farmer's Market

Pershing Square is a vibrant public space located in the heart of downtown Los Angeles, offering a variety of recreational programs and community events. With its inviting hard-scapes and grass areas, the square provides a gathering place for locals and visitors alike, featuring amenities such as fountains, monuments, playgrounds, and a chess area. Surrounded by hotels, restaurants, and local businesses, Pershing Square serves as a hub for concerts, political rallies, and public celebrations.

Originally dedicated in 1866, the park underwent significant renovations in the 1990s, resulting in its current design by architect Ricardo Legoretta and landscapist Laurie Olin. Named in honor of World War I General Pershing, the square has a rich history and continues to be managed by the Department of Recreation and Parks. While currently open for passive recreation due to the coronavirus, Pershing Square remains a cherished destination for relaxation and community engagement in downtown Los Angeles.
