The Lowrider Experience FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Who is the event for?
    The San Diego County Community and its neighboring regions. 
  • What is the purpose of The Lowrider Experience?

    The goal of this grassroots collaborative outreach resource fair is to unite the CSUSM Community, including the University Police Department, local public safety agencies and our surrounding communities in an annual gathering during National Hispanic Heritage Month. In celebration of National Hispanic Heritage Month, we will be spotlighting the Lowrider Culture, which traditionally reflects a great part of the Mexican Culture.

    With The Lowrider Experience we will strive to foster a culture where our University Police Department and its public safety partners interact with our community in a non-enforcement and inclusive environment. This will help strengthen community relations among students, LAFS, the UPD and other public organizations. Establishing valuable relationships among various organizations can increase our quality of life, which will in turn produce a safer community for generations of community leaders, artists and entrepreneurs, while at the same time bringing awareness and respect for the time - honored cultural tradition of Lowriding.
