Endless Summer C.A.M.P. (Community | Art | Music | Picnic), the cultural event series returns to celebrate community, arts, and culture at Tongva Park. This family-friendly celebration invites attendees to pack a picnic, blankets, and beach chairs and enjoy four Saturday afternoons showcasing artists from across Santa Monica and the LA region sharing their culture through unique performances and hands-on crafts.

The series will take place in the center of Tongva Park, at Gathering Hill, on Saturdays from Aug. 3 to Aug. 24 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. This year’s C.A.M.P. program includes live music performances and dance from around the world including LA’s premiere Bollywood dance company, youth ballet folklorico performing traditional Mexican folklorico dance, and a performance representing Philippine culture, as well as GRAMMY® nominated artists. The popular Conservation Ambassadors / Zoo to You will return with a close-up encounter of favorite zoo animals. Other highlights include a puppet show from Bob Baker Marionette Theater, mini rock n’ roll concerts from local youth, and free workshops such as plant terrariums, puppets, and kite-making to ensure the C.A.M.P.-goers don’t leave empty-handed.

Tongva Park’s amenities include a splash pad, playground, ocean observation decks, public art, and 100+ species of plants. Endless Summer C.A.M.P. is produced by Community Arts Resources (CARS), presented by the City of Santa Monica and made possible by Art of Recovery.
