Join Culver City's Virtual Fiesta La Ballona During The Pandemic

For the first time, Fiesta La Ballona will be held online, a move to keep the Culver City tradition alive during the pandemic.

CULVER CITY, CA — Culver City's Fiesta La Ballona is taking the celebration virtual this year for the first time—a creative move to keep the tradition strong amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Instead of hosting the annual event in-person, the city's Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department will host it from Friday to Sunday on the Fiesta La Ballona website.

Kids and families can check out virtual carnival games and rides, a family scavenger hunt, entertainment, musical performances, the history of Fiesta La Ballona and the Marketplace, which will feature links for local food and businesses.
