BBQ HONORS THE FIRST RESPONDERS OF DTLAOn September 28, over 1,000 residents, workers, and safety personnel attended our 18th Annual Public Safety Appreciation BBQ at Bank of America Plaza. The DCBID was joined by the Historic Core, Fashion District, and South Park BIDs to honor the men and women in uniform whose dedicated service makes Downtown LA a safe and enjoyable community. The DCBID hosts this event each year to give the Downtown residents and workers the opportunity to meet and connect with their hardworking public safety officials. This year’s net proceeds benefited the Los Angeles Firemen’s Relief Association.
