On May 3, 2026, the Culver City Education Foundation once again transformed the front lawn of The Culver Studios into something that felt like the best of Culver City all in one place – neighbors, families, students, educators, and local restaurants coming together in support of our schools.
This year’s Taste of Culver City event raised nearly $220,000 for CCUSD schools, turning an afternoon of food and connection into real support for classrooms across the district.
More than 25 local restaurants and beverage partners attended, including Pasta Sisters, Bianca, Piccalilli, Public School 310, and José Andrés Group. Their generosity filled every corner of the event and reflected what makes Culver City’s food scene so special – not just great food, but a deep sense of pride in giving back.
Throughout the afternoon, student performances and activations by CCHS’s AVPA Jazz Combo, CCHS Pep Band, CCMS Musical Theatre, and CCUSD Robotics teams brought the CCEF mission into focus. Seeing students on stage, representing the very programs this event helps fund, was a powerful reminder of what donors make possible.
