Art & Activities

Guests decorated a wooden tree ornament with vibrant paint pens to create a meaningful keepsake celebrating growth and renewal.
Guests wrote a wish for the future of the Palisades and hung it on the community Wish Tree—a living symbol of hope, healing, and shared dreams
Guests piped melted chocolate into tree shapes and decorated the branches with edible toppings to create their own sweet masterpiece.
Guests added their thumbprint to a collaborative tree painting — each print became a leaf.
These glass stones survived the fire in the Palisades. Guests created their own pendant — a seed of strength to carry forward through the journey of recovery and renewal.
Native wildflower mix seed balls you can plant to grow California poppies and other beautiful flowers. Great for butterflies and biodiversity.
Guests tried their hand at lasso roping!
Pick-up soccer, basketball, and more for kids who want to run around. Parent/guardian waiver required on-site.
Guests struck a pose with their Palisades neighbors — and took home a print or a digital keepsake from a day worth remembering.
Guests stepped into our confessional booth and share your story — one question, thirty seconds, and a piece of Palisades history preserved forever.
The face painters were amazing!
Shimmering glitter tattoos added sparkle to the celebration.
Kids were invited to enjoy fun, hands-on crafts.

Lantern Ceremony

Neighborhoods were called one by one to illuminate their lanterns (outfitted with small battery-operated lights and a decorated Year of the Fire Horse ornament) until 400 lanterns glowed — a powerful reminder that our community stands together in recovery. We closed with a brief prayer and moment of silence, sending us forward in hope and unity.
