Small Block Party Marks Second Anniversary of Disney Bros. Cartoon Studio Square

Neighborhood groups led a community-focused commemoration that tied the original 1923 studio site to present-day local businesses.

Overview

  • Organizers from the Los Feliz Neighborhood Council, the Los Feliz Village BID, and Los Angeles City Council District 4 staged a short block party on Kingswell near Vermont to mark the square’s second anniversary.
  • D23, Disney’s official fan club, operated a booth with a photo backdrop, giveaways including anniversary sunglasses, and a prize wheel that engaged passing fans.
  • The event was deliberately small and local, with roughly 10–15 booths staffed by neighborhood groups, artists, and vendors rather than a large corporate spectacle.
  • Programming included community information tables, family-friendly live performances, and skating demonstrations led by Kingswell Skate, and nearby businesses Extra Copy and Kingswell Skate displayed murals and joined the festivities.
  • The gathering emphasized place continuity by honoring the 1923 founding of the Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio while showing how the original storefront now supports active neighborhood commerce and memory.
