Big Sunday happily welcomes you to Our Really Big Community Calendar.
We try to include all kinds of volunteering and helping opportunities for all kinds of interests, talents, passions, and ages! As you’ll see, these include volunteering opportunities (one-time and long-term) as well as the chance to support a nonprofit by attending fundraising events. Plus, of course, we include all of Big Sunday’s homegrown events, too! Whoever you are, and whatever you do, there is someone out there who could use your help.
If you have questions about our calendar, or would like to add a listing, please contact calendar@bigsunday.org or submit your event/opportunity via the button below.
LA Film Festival returns to FIGat7th Plaza in downtown LA for two nights of outdoor film screenings and special programming. This year’s selections are beloved blockbusters returning to the big screen with highly anticipated remakes this summer!
June 3: Ghostbusters
7 pm
Several underdog scientists lose their cushy positions at a university in New York City and set out on their own to become “ghostbusters.” The film stars Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson as the eccentric team waging a high-tech battle with supernatural spirits.
June 4: Independence Day
7 pm
When massive spaceships appear in Earth’s skies and blast destructive beams down on the planet, a determined band of survivors must unite for one last strike against the invaders before it’s the end of mankind. An all-star cast including Will Smith, Jeff Goldblum and Bill Pullman join forces in this ultimate battle against powerful aliens.
Volunteers Needed at Wright's Field
Join Back Country Land Trust and their community of volunteers as they host the 3rd annual volunteer event in honor of National Trails Day, a national event celebrating hiking, trails and the great outdoors! National Trails Day is organized by the American Hiking Society every year on the first Saturday in June.
This year, they'll be working to repair and maintain the trails that run alongside Alpine Creek. This winter's rains caused some sections to wash out, creating the potential for even more erosion if not repaired, as well as being a hazard for hikers, mountain bikers, and equestrians. Due to the extensive damage to this trail, we'll be filling the erosion channel with hay bales for support and using vertical mulch to close this short trail section around the washout.
Join them! All ages and abilities are welcome.
Volunteers should wear appropriate outdoor work clothes – boots or hiking shoes, sun protection, etc. Water and all tools will be provided.
Arts Brookfield presents a highly acclaimed public art installation by Australian artist Amanda Parer. The installation, titled Intrude, features seven monumental rabbits constructed of sewn white nylon that have been inflated and internally lit. Two of the seven rabbits were specially commissioned by Arts Brookfield, each scaling over two stories in height.
Rabbits in Parer’s native Australia are an out of control pest first introduced by white settlers in 1777. Their intrusion into the landscape and impact on the country’s endemic species was the initial inspiration for Intrude. Their presence in LA’s urban landscape invites viewers to get up close, cuddle and enjoy while also asking one to consider every species’ larger than life impact on their surroundings.
The seven rabbits of Intrude will be spread across several Brookfield properties on Bunker Hill and at the FIGat7th retail center in downtown Los Angeles from June 5 – June 11.
