Taste of Culver City 2025

A huge thank you to the more than 900 Culver City families, friends, and neighbors who joined us on Sunday, May 4, 2025, for A Taste of Culver City. This year’s celebration was our biggest success yet – generating nearly $160,000 in net revenue to support arts, STEM, and student success programs across every CCUSD school.

From the unique offerings shared by our amazing restaurant partners to the joy on kids’ faces at the activity booth, to the show-stopping performances on stage – it truly was a day full of Culver Pride. Our community showed up, gave generously, and made a real difference for our students and educators.
