Venice Welcomes The Palisades: A Community Benefit at Colony

Venice Welcomes The Palisades is a community driven benefit created to support the residents and small businesses of Pacific Palisades affected by the recent wildfires. Held at Colony in Venice and sponsored by Council District 11 and Councilmember Traci Park, this event brings together Westside neighborhoods in a spirit of solidarity, offering direct support and visibility to those who have been displaced or impacted.

In the wake of the fires, six beloved Palisades restaurants displaced by the loss of their brick-and-mortar locations have found a new home within Colony’s kitchens in Venice and Santa Monica. These include Sasabune, Taj Palace, Armav, K Bakery, DELIzioso, and Cinque Terre West.

This benefit is a tribute to their resilience and a collective effort to support their recovery, alongside the broader Palisades community they represent.

Guests will have the opportunity to connect with Palisades based artisans, shop from local vendors, enjoy great food and drink, and engage in a meaningful gathering that honors the resilience and strength of the Palisades community. All vendor fees are waived for those affected, and proceeds from on-site sales will go directly toward recovery efforts.

Whether you're from Venice, the Palisades, or beyond, this is a chance to stand with your neighbors, support local businesses, and help rebuild what was lost.

You do not want to miss this chance to feel home again as local Palisades legend Gerry Blanck and his students will be performing a karate exhibition at noon.

Bring your instrument, your voice, or just your love of music and join us for an open, family-friendly Community Jam session! Hosted by The Amazing Music Store, this interactive space welcomes musicians to play, sing, or simply enjoy the vibe from 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM.

Come show your support, shop with purpose, and help us make a lasting impact. RSVP now and be part of the recovery.
