Livermore, CA – Having just kicked off its 2023-2024 Bankhead Presents Season, Livermore Valley Arts is delighted to be taking our diverse community on a comprehensive, global journey this autumn with a number of free events for families and friends to come together on the Bankhead Plaza. On Saturday, September 23, we will honor and celebrate the Native Peoples of the Americas at our Indigenous People's Day Celebration. A busy October will kick off with our Weekend of Culture community celebrations, featuring the Taste of Africa Festival and Filipino Barrio Fiesta on the Bankhead Plaza, taking place Saturday, October 7, and Sunday, October 8, respectively. The month of festivities will continue with the Tri-Valley’s premiere arts festival, ArtWalk Livermore, on Saturday, October 14, as well as the new-for-LVA Pride Fest Livermore for the whole family on Saturday, October 21. The fall celebrations will finish before the holidays, with Diwali Festival of Lights on Sunday, November 5. The public is invited to celebrate our global community at these events in Downtown Livermore, sponsored by LVA’s 2023-2024 community cultural series sponsor, Las Positas College, and LVA’s 2023-2024 community cultural media sponsor, The Independent. Thanks largely to Las Positas College’s generous support, these events are FREE and open to the public.
