Join us for The Chapter House Indigenous Peoples’ Day Party! On two Saturdays in October, in partnership with The Music Center, we’re inviting all Angelenos for cultural affirmation and joy among the county’s Indigenous communities to foster greater awareness, respect and understanding of the ongoing cultural contributions of Indigenous people among Los Angeles County residents. These events are by and for Indigenous Peoples, and all are welcome to join!
On Saturday, October 12, Angelenos can shop at a vibrant marketplace on Jerry Moss Plaza at The Music Center; connect to local Indigenous-serving resource groups, participate in artist-led workshops, and view visual artwork and live performances featuring the rich cultural heritage and contemporary expressions of Indigenous communities. The October 12 celebration is supported in part by the County of Los Angeles’ Anti-Racism, Diversity, and Inclusion (ARDI) Initiative and the Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture.
First 400 cars receive free parking! Get there early!
