Jaunt over to the 90210 to savor this beloved community event bringing together a diverse collection of over 230 artists, both local and from around the globe, to exhibit their works amidst the picturesque greenery of Beverly Gardens Park.
Now in its 51st year, what began as a modest arts and crafts fair has blossomed into a must-see cultural happening.
