The Council Liaison/Arts and Culture Commission Committee meeting of June 3 took up the topic of the upcoming Festival Beverly Hills, a celebration of culture and community. The event will be an opportunity for visitors as well as residents to discover something new about other cultures through literature, music and food. The second annual festival will take place on July 21 from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. at Roxbury Park.
“I think it’s important for people to experience a variety of cultures to begin to understand each other better and come together,” said Karla Gordy Bristol, vice chair of the Arts and Culture Commission. “That was kind of the mission starting out. Let’s celebrate the arts and then bring cultures within it so people can come and have a really good time together.”
