There’s almost always something going on in Montebello. "Classic car culture and cruising is big here. You can find a lineup of cars on any given weekend at the park, often accompanied by music and food trucks," Partida says. Annual events are also a way for people to get together, especially events like:
Downtown Street Fest, a summer festival on Whittier Boulevard packed with activities
Heritage Festival, a weekend-long October celebration with multiple races, a parade and vendors
Montebello ArtFest, a March gathering where people show classic cars and live bands play
Direct freeway access and a Metrolink train station in town
If you want to get to downtown LA, you’re close to Interstate 5 and the Pomona Freeway. “Whittier Boulevard can get a bit congested during rush hour, but you don’t get a ton of through traffic because there are so many freeway options,” Partida says. Many people drive, but the city also has Montebello Bus Lines providing service within the city and to downtown. The Montebello/Commerce station offers Metrolink commuter rail on the Riverside Line, connecting to Union Station in Los Angeles.
