Hundreds of people gathered for the city’s inaugural Fourth of July Community Picnic featuring music, games and food. The event, held at Roxbury Park from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., was part of Beverly Hills Mayor Sharona Nazarian’s initiative to celebrate national holidays.
“Our job is to fill the voids that we see,” Nazarian told the Courier. “We’ve never done a Fourth of July celebration, so this was one of my initiatives that I wanted to launch … we did Memorial Day, we’re doing the Fourth of July, we’re going to do Veterans Day. We want to be able to bring the community together in all different ways.”
