The free event will be held from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday at Shane's Inspiration playground at Griffith Park.Wildlife supporters will gather in Griffith Park on Sunday for the eighth annual P-22 Day Festival, honoring the famed mountain lion who crossed two freeways to make his home in Griffith Park before passing away in December 2022.
Believed to be about 11 or 12 years old, he was one of the oldest lions in a continuing NPS study of lions in the Santa Monica Mountains. He was first captured and collared in March 2012, when he was estimated to be 2 years old. Defying expectations, he persisted for more than 10 years in the smallest home range that has ever been recorded for an adult male mountain lion.
