Third Wednesday – ‘Emerald City Block Party’ to Celebrate Culver Hotel, MGM Studios Centennial

2024 is the 100th Anniversary of The Culver Hotel and the 100th Anniversary of MGM Studios. Downtown Culver City will be celebrating a hundred years of Culver City cinematic history through a Special Third Wednesday Event on September 18, 2024: the Emerald City Block Party.

Expect to find character actors in full costume, blow-up rainbow arches at the entrances to the downtown, a 25-foot ruby slipper on Town Plaza, a Giant Emerald City backdrop, aDJ on the Town Plaza at the Culver Steps and Historical Explanations and Displays

We will be marking each participating business with a miniature yellow brick road.

Participating businesses will serve taster-size drinks (2-ounce size) to the crowds as they explore the streets of Downtown Culver City (alcoholic or non-alcoholic). Visitors will create their own self-guided tour using the free Emerald City “Passport” provided by the Downtown Business Association.

This event is free to the public. “Passports” are available free at any participating business.
