Once again, the Venice Community Housing Corporation (VCHC) will host the Venice Music Festival on Sunday, Sept. 16. A trio of annual events including a brunch, a silent auction and the Music Festival concert will raise money for the VCHC’s ongoing efforts to provide affordable housing, social and family support services to low-income families and at-risk youth in Los Angeles.
The Festival will begin at 2 p.m. and continue until 5 p.m. in an expanded performance space around the Palms Court, located at 733-743 Palms Blvd. A suggested donation of $5 is requested for the Venice Music Festival.
Scheduled to perform at the Venice Music Festival are Ashley Maher and her Big Global Band. Maher’s highly individual and infectious brand of world/folk/jazz has gained her an international following, four acclaimed albums and performances with several major African icons.
Argentinean rockers Los Pinguos will be sure to have the audience dancing with their mixture of Latin rhythms.
A silent aauction will be held from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Items available for bidding include art, restaurant gift certificates, personal and professional services.
There will be some activities for children so bring the whole family!
