Join us for the 11th Annual Greens Festival, a joyful celebration of Black History Month, presented by the Black Santa Monica Community Group in collaboration with Virginia Avenue Park.
This year’s theme, “Boots on the Ground,” honors community and culture. Enjoy greens cooking demonstrations, music and dance, local vendors, and community booths offering resources and information for the community.
We’re excited to welcome back Arron “Bobo” Arnell as our MC, with DJ Dense from KJLH spinning throughout the event.
11:00 AM – 4:00 PM at Virginia Avenue Park
Bring your family, friends, and neighbors for a day of culture, connection, and celebration—you won’t want to miss it!
