Fiesta La Ballona is once again looking for volunteers for this year’s Fiesta La Ballona celebration. The event is otherwise known as Culver City’s annual “Party in the Park.” Martin Feinberg, Realtor, notes that this year’s event will be held August 23-25. A hundred volunteers will be needed for this year’s annual “spectacular end-of-summer festival.”
Like it has in years past, the 2019 Fiesta weekend will include carnival rides, games, live performances, booths from local organizations, featuring artisan wares and other vendors, a beer and wine garden, food trucks, a food court, “dive in” movie at Plunge into Fiesta, and other fun activities.
There are many different volunteer shifts available for people with every kind of interest or schedule. Some examples of volunteer opportunities include working in the entertainment tent or participating in the event’s sustainability program. Fiesta La Ballona is especially good at working with volunteer groups from corporations, churches, schools, clubs, and neighborhoods. The event can also provide credit hours for students fulfilling service requirements for schools.
Local listing agent Martin Feinberg recommends that those who wish to volunteer go online at fiestalaballona.org and sign-up for a specific shift. Signing up to help at the party is easy. Just click on the blue “Volunteer” tab on the home page of the Fiesta La Ballona website.
Volunteer training for the event began today, Friday the 17th, at 9:30 this morning in the Garden Room of Veterans Memorial Building so there is no time to lose. All volunteers receive a free Fiesta volunteer t-shirt.
The Fiesta La Ballona Party in the Park will be held at Veterans Park located at 4117 Overland Avenue within the Culver City Real Estate area.
