The Venice Neighborhood Council’s 7th annual Venice Community FREE Potluck Picnic and BBQ will be held on Saturday August 3 from Noon – 4 pm at Oakwood Park, 767 California Ave. To volunteer as an individual or to donate from your business, email the organizers by clicking here!
Chicken, burgers, hot dogs (veggie too), and pulled pork will be served up by Venice’s own fire fighters from LAFD Station 63, grilled by Chief Jeremiah Johnson and master grillers Barklie Griggs and Todd von Hoffmann.
Come out to welcome our new LA City Council member Mike Bonin and other elected officials and enjoy a variety of musical acts including blues and funk bands with headliners the legendary Bonedaddys.
Please bring a side dish, salad or dessert to receive a raffle ticket for a chance to win one of the many prizes donated by local businesses. Join us for fun games for adults and kids, including watermelon-eating contests, a rope pull, and a bouncy house. Don’t miss this opportunity to celebrate the diversity that makes Venice a great and unique community.
The event is free, open to all, and organized by the Venice Neighborhood Council.
Street parking is available but we encourage you to walk or bike over.
