As summer comes to an end and fall weather makes its way into Beverly Hills, the Arts and Culture Commission is ringing in the new season with several outdoor events. At a meeting on Sept. 10, the commission provided details on the annual Day of Wellness and upcoming Great Outdoors at Greystone. They also discussed the acquisition of Judy Chicago’s Trinity at The Wallis, which was approved by City Council following the commission’s meeting, and they teased a few events that will take place in the coming months.
The second annual Day of Wellness will take place on Sept. 22. The event was started in 2023 by the Recreation and Parks Commission, the Human Relations Commission and the Health and Safety Commission to bring people together in an outdoor space after the pandemic. As a result of months without any social gatherings, the event was intended to focus on mental health, but it also incorporates classes such as yoga and Pilates. This year, the event will include different types of yoga and different types of sound baths, as recommended by last year’s participants. It will also include 52 informational booths—an increase from 40 booths at last year’s event— and 21 indoor sessions. These sessions include a range of activities and lectures, from Zumba to cancer support groups.
