Community Day Saturday, December 6th

Community Day is a free event in the Leimert Park area. Entertainment, food, music, and vendors will be on hand from Noon to 6pm. Bring your friends, family, and self to celebrate the community.

Community Day was insprired by Vanessa Butler's need to shoot a community event for her film Beautiful Tears. She decided to create a real community event instead of a staged event because she is invested in inspiring the community to work together. Since the film will be shot that day using extras from the community, anyone attending the event will be asked to sign a waiver so that thier image may be included in the film.

For more information on Community Day or the film Beautiful Tears please contact Vanessa Butler at butlerv0@hotmail.com.

For vendor applications please contact Bigger Than Your Block at BiggerThanYourBlock@hotmail.com.
