Join us for one of our most anticipated events of the year: our Summer Picnic on Sunday, August 17, 12:00pm to 3:00pm at Clover Park!
We’ve been going to political rallies and protests all year, but this is more than that. Itās a celebration of our community and our Santa Monica values. Weāll be joined by local elected officials from the City Council, College Board, School Board, and Rent Control Board, plus candidates for State Senate and statewide office. You might even get to meet Californiaās next governor?? Stay tuned…
š§ŗĀ Food, Fun, and Family
- Our grill masters are Westside Democratic HQ ChairĀ Hap HenryĀ and DNC MemberĀ Derek Devermont! They will be working their magic on the grill and smoker. You wonāt want to miss the savory treats theyāre cooking up!
- Weāll have a mouthwatering spread of side dishes and desserts, potluck style. You are encouraged (but not required!) to bring your favorite salad, cobbler, or picnic favorite to share.
- Family-friendly games like super-sized Jenga, cornhole, dominoes, and more. Bring a football, a frisbee, or any backyard game you love!
- Visit theĀ Santa Monica Animal ShelterĀ booth for some furry fun and community connection.
