Only American City with an official Little Ethiopia

Los Angeles In Details

The City of Los Angeles (from Spanish; Los Ángeles) is the second-largest city in the United States in terms of population, as well as one of the world's most important economic, cultural, and entertainment centers. It was incorporated as a city in California on April 4, 1850, and is the county seat of Los Angeles County. As of the 2000 census, it has a population of 3,694,820, but a May 1, 2005 California Department of Finance estimate shows the city's population at over 3.95 million, with the metropolitan area at over 17.5 million. The city is also large by geographic standards since it sprawls over more than 465 square miles (1200 square kilometers), making it larger than New York City and Chicago.

In addition, Los Angeles has hosted two Olympic Games (in 1932 and 1984) and is home to world-renowned and unrivaled scientific and cultural institutions. The city is also one of the most cosmopolitan places in the world, as well as an undisputed vanguard of creativity, since it is home to individuals from virtually every nation on Earth. People have always been attracted to the city for its balmy weather, its vibrant lifestyle, its unique, high-velocity energy, and the true opportunity to realize the "American Dream."

LA City Flag

Los Angeles city's flag colors are the same as Ethiopia's Flag; this usually gets attention from most Ethiopian visitors that see the flag waving through out LA.

Ethio LA3 Note

Most of the L. A. sights are free, and we encourage you to schedule these trips around meal and match times. As the attendants spending is the engine behind ESFNA and the communities that host the yearly event we encourage you to attend matches (without match attendees ESFNA suffers) and to eat your meals either in the stadium from our vendors or in Little Ethiopia (our service providers survival and growth depends on your generous spending).

We are listing activities for your enjoyment and working hard to make as much information available to you through our website and during the events on program guides so everyone can pick and choose what suits their taste and enjoy themselves to the fullest.
