The Petersen Automotive Museum's "Best in Low: Lowrider Icons of the Street and Show" exhibition has been dazzling visitors who are eager to admire an eye-catching assembly of hydraulically awesome automobiles.
You can still behold these beautifully designed wonders for the next several months — the exhibit closes in April 2025 — but a special beyond-the-museum celebration will regally roll on Sunday, Sept. 15.
The Lowrider Parade will be "one of the largest cruises of the year" for the Miracle Mile museum, with "a curated list of entrants" in the spotlight.

After the procession, the vibrant vehicles will be on view for visitors who'd love to take a closer look.
Other happenings, including "carnival-style activities," a folklorico performance, and chips & salsa bar are on the schedule.
If you'd simply like to watch the parade, that is free, but do pick up a ticket at the Petersen site.
