(ATR)More than 500 Angelenos, most dressed in wild costumes and colorful fashion, turned up for the LA2024 sunrise dance party.
The party was held to help launch the final phase of the campaign for the 2024 bid.
The event on Thursday was held at the entrance to the Memorial Coliseum - the site of the ceremonies for the 1932 and 1984 Summer Games. If LA is successful with its bid, the stadium would once again be used during an Olympics.
