Thursday, July 19 | 5:30pm-7:00pm

Long Beach Museum of Art | 2300 E. Ocean Blvd., Long Beach 90803

Get creative and try something new this summer at the LBMA. For just an hour and a half of your time and a small amount of money for supplies, you could be on your way to developing a new skill and having a beautifully-made vessel made of rope and coil. Once you develop a basic technique, enjoy experimenting with crafting baskets of different shapes, colors, and textures. This workshop is led by the Museum's Education Department and is open to all ages.

Saturday, July 21 | 7:30am-10:30am

Long Beach Path in Belmont Shore | 5400 E. Ocean Blvd. Long Beach 90803

Get up bright and early this Saturday morning and be prepared to hit the pavement with fellow fitness enthusiasts. Because Summer Breeze ranges in distance, from a 5k to a half marathon, it is ideal for the entire family—that’s right, running/walking with a stroller is allowed as well. The course is easy to follow and consists of marked out and book loops around the beach path. This is a self-proclaimed “low-key race” that emphasizes a more personal satisfaction to racing. All runners will receive a finishers’ medal as well as a goodie bag. Learn More: http://www.abetterworldrunning.com/summer-breeze-72118-lb
