Discover, Create, and Connect at CFC's Family Learning Festival
The Family Learning Festival is a free community celebration that transforms play into possibility. Held in Torrance each year, the festival welcomes more than 600 children, parents, and caregivers for a day filled with art inspired activities, hands-on learning, live entertainment, and access to essential early childhood resources.
Families explore interactive stations including arts and crafts, music, movement, and more, while connecting with local organizations offering health, education, and well-being services. The celebration features CFC’s Family Time early learning playgroups, available year-round in Santa Monica and Torrance. Stay tuned for the 2027 event details.
