Gallop into the Year of the Horse with a joyful afternoon for the whole family at The Wallis!
Family Fest returns as our campus comes alive with the sights, sounds, and traditions of the Chinese New Year, also known as Spring Festival. Join us as we welcome good fortune, share happiness, and celebrate new beginnings. From colorful traditions and lively performances to immersive arts and crafts, there is something for everyone to explore. Whether learning the art of origami, joining in on story time, or simply soaking up the festive atmosphere, it is the perfect way to start the year together.
The day of celebration will include immersive arts and crafts, traditional foods and performances by Qing Wei Lion and Dragon Dance Cultural Troupe, Cold Tofu Improv Comedy Troupe, East Wind Foundation, Gamin Music, Beverly Hills Public Library, City of Beverly Hills Community Services Department, and DJ Moni Vargas.
