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.

The Beverly Hills artSHOW returns to historic Beverly Gardens on Saturday and Sunday, October 15th and 16th, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Art enthusiasts visit from all over Southern California and beyond to see selected artists from across the country.
Artists whose work illustrates the timely topic of Construction!, particularly in the Los Angeles environs, are featured among the 250 artists. The show expands along four garden blocks in the center of Beverly Hills, from Rodeo to Rexford Drive, along Santa Monica Boulevard. Media categories run the gamut from painting and printmaking to sculpture, ceramics, and even the occasional performance artwork.
Guests can also enjoy a wine and dine garden, a beer and brat garden, popular food trucks, ambien
