This year the afternoon’s activities have a special focus on drumming. Participants made colorful drums, watched Japanese fusion, Tahitian and other drumming performances and took part in drum circles to close out the day.

Throughout the day there was workshops in intergenerational story telling, bookmaking, creative writing, acting, improv, collage, and creative movement, to name a few. In addition, there was blue grass music and ballet folklorico performances along with a full range of demonstrations in calligraphy, poetry, creative urban planning and interactive art demonstrations by the Santa Monica Museum of Art.  The festival was free to the community.

Additional Celebration of Life partnering agencies include Santa Monica College’s Emeritus College, UCLA Healthcare 50 Plus, Santa Monica Family YMCA, and Virginia Avenue Project.
