On November 2, 2025 the cities of South El Monte and El Monte will host Corazon Del Valle – five miles of open streets from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. It’s an Active Streetsevent, similar to CicLAvia, but put on by the same folks who brought you Arroyo Fest on the 110 Freeway in 2023. The event is produced by ActiveSGV, the cities, the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments, and Metro.
The route mapped out for the event passes along many of the Monte area’s mainstays: Famous Ed’s Liquor, Nativity Church, the Valley Mall, Arceo Park, Tito’s Market, Potrero School, the South El Monte Civic Center, and a plethora of mom and pop shops.
