“PARIS IS BURNING” 25TH ANNIVERSARY SCREENING
Come celebrate the 25th Anniversary of PARIS IS BURNING with a new restoration of the film, a special panel of ballroom specialists, and a live mini-ball by Banjee Ball!
Before gay marriage, before Ru Paul’s Drag Race, before “fierce” was a household term, were the balls, ecstatic underground gatherings of the largely non-white, gay and transgender working class community of New York City, as captured in this now iconic 1991 documentary. Enter the glittering boudoirs and fragile hearts of ball legends Pepper LaBeija, Venus Xtravaganza and Willi Ninja in this 25th anniversary UCLA restoration of the film, which captured the scene that inspired Madonna’s Vogue and Malcolm McLaren’s Deep in Vogue. Wear your gold pumps and Chanel for tonight’s screening, which features a panel of vogue pioneers and modern purveyors put together by Rhonda International, plus a live vogueing demo and mini ball by Banjee Ball, a voice in the contemporary ball scene.

COMMUNITY RIDE FROM LITTLE TOKYO TO WATTS
Join the API Obesity Prevention Alliance and the East Side Riders on their annual unity ride that is aimed at bringing people from different cultural and ethnic backgrounds together by highlighting the historical influences of Asian American, African American and Latino contributions to (South and Downtown) Los Angeles. The ride will start at the Japanese American National Museum in Little Tokyo and work it’s way down Central Ave into the Watts community of South L.A. Stops will include the Japanese American National Museum, Japanese Cultural and Community Center, the Dunbar hotel, the Watts Towers, and Freedom Hall.
Community rides like this are so important because they remind us that despite cultural and linguistic differences there is more that we as people of color share in common than divides us. It gives us an opportunity to share our histories and experiences with one another and ultimately, build stronger bridges of understanding and unity.

The festival takes place every Memorial Day and Labor Day Weekend (Saturday, Sunday and Monday) in downtown Hermosa Beach, California. With the ocean as a backdrop, Hermosa Beach is an ideal place for a summer festival with temperatures of 80 degrees and balmy sea breezes.
People flock to Fiesta Hermosa each year for not only the art fair, but for the Music – which is always of the highest caliber. There are two stages featuring live music – one at the Main Stage on the Pier and another in the Charity Beer & Wine Garden. The Main Stage features the finest “tribute bands” performing the classic rock of bands such as Led Zeppelin, the Eagles, Jimi Hendrix, Phil Collins, Fleetwood Mac, and Crosby Stills Nash & Young, to name just a few. Rock n’ roll, zydeco, country western, and rhythm and blues are showcased in the Charity Beer & Wine Garden.
Fairgoers rave about the Food Court, which offers 18 different kinds of ethnic food choices. Everything is delicious – from roasted corn to Thai, Greek, and Mexican food, to tri-tip sandwiches and barbequed sausages, to the Hermosa Beach Lifeguards’ famous fish tacos. Handmade guacamole, crepes, and shaved ice creations are also popular with the crowd. And where else can you find cotton candy, caramel apples, fresh squeezed lemonade, and funnel cakes?
Popular Charity Beer & Wine Garden features many different brews of beers, a selection of wines, margaritas, and icy coolers served by town “celebrities”, including the mayor, city councilmen, and non-profit organizations such as the Rotary, Kiwanis, HB Education Foundation, and other civic organizations. All proceeds are returned to the participating organizations for their good works in the community.
The Kiddie Carnival features a 30-foot slide, mechanical rides, rock climbing wall and bungee jump, and games for kids from 3 to 10 years old. Pony rides, a Petting Zoo, and face painters are sure to delight the little ones.
