A DAY TO REMEMBER
OUR CULTURES CONNECTED! The “Festival: Where Our Cultures Connect” was a vibrant celebration of diversity and community spirit, attracting over 9,500 attendees. The festival featured a rich tapestry of cultural performances, art exhibits, and culinary delights, showcasing the unique traditions of our multicultural community. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our sponsors, whose generous support made this event possible. Special thanks to our community partners and the talented artists who provided incredible performances and exhibits, enriching the festival experience for all. This event was a collaborative effort with multiple city departments, notably the Downtown Beautification Tiger Team and the Parks and Recreation staff, who worked tirelessly to ensure the festival’s success. Additionally, we were supported by over 200 dedicated volunteers whose enthusiasm and hard work were instrumental in making the festival a memorable occasion. We invite all community members to check the events calendar in the centerfold of our program. There’s something for everyone, so bring your family and join us in celebrating our shared cultural heritage. We look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events!
ARBOR EARTH DAY 2024
This Arbor Earth Day was special as staff, volunteers, partners, and residents united to revitalize one of our local community gardens. Participants engaged in sustainable practices with a mulch and compost giveaway, promoting organic gardening and waste reduction, and proper disposal of motor oil and filters to prevent environmental contamination. The community garden revitalization project fostered a sense of ownership and pride, creating a beautiful space for gardening, socializing, and recreation, thus strengthening community bonds. Collaboration with UCR, Burrtec, and Urban Conservation Corps showcased the power of community and institutional partnerships, aiming for positive change. We look forward to next year’s Arbor Earth Day community event!
