Tweet Crawl: The Sunset Strip

The Sunset Strip is celebrating the completion of the Sunset Strip Beautification Project on Aug. 12th and you are invited to join in on the festivities! The celebration includes the official launch of Gibson Guitar Town on The Sunset Strip, which is a public arts project that will feature more than 25 ten-foot tall fiberglass Gibson Les Paul model guitars strategically placed on the legendary Sunset Strip.

The event kicks off with the "grand reopening" of the boulevard at 5 p.m. featuring a caravan of classic cars driving The Strip (and an official ribbon cutting outside of the and on Sunset and Olive). After the opening, we're hitting the Strip and walking the newly renovated boulevard, viewing the guitars as well enjoying the many promotions and special events hosted by businesses along the way.

So grab your shoes and your Twitter Apps and join us as we walk, shop, dine and celebrate down The new Sunset Strip!
