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.

Poets Jazz House Live in Leimert Park @ The Vision Theatre
Jul 30 @ 2:00 pm – Jul 30 @ 5:00 pm

“POETS JAZZ HOUSE LIVE IN LEIMERT PARK”
….just somewhere to go in the midst of searching your soul

A Spoken Word & Music Lounge where spilling your heart is art and searching your soul is mandatory to get in the door…

Inner City Cultural Center II, Inc., Kaos Network and Tuesday Conner are proud to present “Poets Jazz House Live in Leimert Park”. Host by Yawo Watts on the last Saturday of every month at the Vision Theater, 3341 West 43rd PLACE, Los Angeles, CA 90008.

Poets Jazz House is a Spoken Word & Music Lounge where spilling your heart is an art and searching your soul is mandatory to get in the door and the cover charge is always free. This little beatnik Open Mic venue is taking it to the streets with Soapbox Poetry. Join us in the courtyard where there is snapping instead of clapping, the atmosphere is lax but it sizzles. Come touch, be touched, hear the answer, heed the call…

Both audience and artist can get involved on stage or in the writer's workshop directly following the Open Mic performance. Come for the experience, come back for the cool.

This Free event is on the last Saturday of every month from 2 to 4pm at The Vision Theater, 3341 West 43rd PLACE, Los Angeles, CA 90008.

For the Record! An interactive timeline of North LB History @ Jordan High School
Nov 16 @ 3:00 pm

See history before your eyes — and under your feet!

Long Beach Heritage will help launch For the Record on November 18, 2019! This interactive timeline takes history to the streets, telling overlooked stories of the heritage that surrounds us.

Volunteers will install the timeline this weekend, and Councilman Rex Richardson will officially kick it off on Monday. All events meet at Jordan High School (main entrance gate), 6500 Atlantic Ave, Long Beach, CA 90805.  Pre-registration is not required and there is no fee to participate.

For the Record is a placemaking project created in partnership with lead organization We Are The Next and other community leaders to help broaden the story told about North Long Beach by highlighting lesser known events and people who have shaped the city and neighborhood. A series of decals along Atlantic Avenue, between the Michelle Obama Library and Jordan High School, will reach as far back as 1784 to tell the history through an interactive timeline.

By engaging with the North Long Beach community in the places and spaces they frequent every day, For the Record seeks to empower local residents with knowledge of the history that surrounds them. Every weekday, hundreds of local teens walk this path. They will be exposed to the history of their city and discover the place they call home. Though the area has not traditionally participated in mainstream types of historic recognition, such as designating buildings as historic landmarks, this project looks to instill preservation values within the community through a fresh approach.
