| Why did we come out to this Coachella desert if we could see music free in LA? (LAT) |
There are three local Los Angeles area festival events this weekend:
Lummis Day Festival in Highland Park (Northeast L.A.), the 8th Making Music Festival in Pasadena (the foothills), and the Celebrating Words Festival in Pacoima (the Valley) for music, culture, and words. All three events are FREE and open to the public to enjoy food, local color, and good times to welcome summer under the
Strawberry Moon. KROQ takes us to the horse races for animal cruelty around the Triple Crown. And there's one last
Vesak celebration.

Celebrating Words Festival
In 2005, with funding from the Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs, Tía Chucha’s established the only annual outdoor literacy and arts festival in the Northeast San Fernando Valley called “Celebrating Words: Written, Performed & Sung.” Celebrating Words Festival has since become a cherished event in which Tía Chucha’s brings poets, writers, musicians, artists, vendors, local organizations, and community together for one day.
Tia Chucha’s Centro Cultural & Bookstore (in neighboring Sylmar) is passionate about enhancing and empowering people’s lives by promoting and providing a wide variety of literary, cultural and artistic programs and experiences, and CWF is an expression of this commitment.
