How many hundreds of times have I driven by the Tarzana Community & Cultural Center? It has been…read moremany years, way back to the time there was a pottery store on the property. I finally had a chance to visit for a Tarzana Music Night last week. What a fun event! Because the weather was being forecasted to be cool with the potential of rain, the event was held indoors. Things were comfortable, but we were in close quarters with the other attendees. The sound was great and the performances were a lot of fun. I was primarily there to see a good friend perform, but I also had the chance to see some other talented musicians. I think each one was a singer songwriter, and I enjoyed each performance. Each one of the people that was working at the venue, which I imagine may have been on a volunteer basis, was friendly and a lot of fun. Normally the music nights are held outdoors, and I can imagine that most of the year, it is a lot of fun being in the open air.

What a cool place I never knew was here! Check out their events on their website! If you write them…read morethey will write you back too. They have a small outdoor stage with string lights hanging beautifully all around, a few picnic tables and fold out chairs for when there's an event to watch. When the chairs aren't there I imagine thats what they use for the outdoor dance floor under the stars, too! A few people brought their dogs on leash. I saw a few people brought in their own food, chilled out and ate while they watched the live band. They do have a very small amount of drinks, chips, and cookies for sale at a stand but thats it so if you don't want junk food def bring what you do want. They do have an indoor bathroom. PARKING - Def uber/LYFT to them. There are only a few spots in the back you can get to from the side street (not from Ventura blvd) and thats it! So do yourself a favor and get a ride. Lyft must know about this place because the driver knew exactly where to meet us in the back when we booked our return. For us it was a calm but fun summer evening hang outside! I don't know what its like without a band playing but hope I get a chance to check that out too.

Well 2020 is almost over but what an unforgettable and tragic year it's been for the world. If we…read moresit quietly and think about things that happened, I hope there were at least some happy and triumphant moments that stand out. Maybe this virtual 40 foot sequoia tree lighting will be one of the happy moments we can look forward to this year to bring some semblance of community and festive holiday celebration to everyone. I would always just miss this event every year and drive by as the fast cleaning crew were almost done. 2019 was different as I was there in person for the first time for the countdown, hot chocolate, tree lighting and the entertainment. It was freezing cccold... This year is another first as it will be live streamed on their website and YT channel. Mark your calendars. Wed.

We went through what services I'd like over the phone and I was able to pay through Zelle. A receipt was emailed right after. They also call you a couple of days before your event to confirm. Lilly was our artist and balloonist and she is such a joy! She arrived on time and was easy to work with. My son wanted a lizard drawn on his arm and she was able to paint it off the top of her head. Her balloon creations were also on point. We had about 15 kids that were all able to get their face and/or arms painted and balloons made. We loved Lilly. All the kids loved her creations. We had an awesome experience with Fiesta Fantastic and recommend hiring them for your next party
