Grandparents Day

Join us for a joyful and heartwarming celebration in honor of our beloved grandparents. This special Grandparents Day event is part of our Raíces y Sueños program, which celebrates the cultural heritage and deep roots of our community.

Enjoy a delicious brunch provided by 805 Catering, create meaningful crafts inspired by cultures from around the world, and embark on an unforgettable journey through a Visiting VR virtual reality experience. This immersive activity will transport our seniors to breathtaking destinations such as Teotihuacán and Mexico City in Mexico, Angel Falls in Venezuela, and Machu Picchu in Peru, places they may have always dreamed of visiting or wish to revisit through cherished memories.

With the support of Santa Barbara County Action Network (SBCAN), this is a bilingual program (Spanish/English) designed especially for seniors. Whether attending alone or with loved ones, we encourage seniors to join us, and we warmly welcome children, grandchildren, and family members to come along and support their abuelos in having a joyful morning.

Spots on the VR experience and brunch are reserved exclusively for seniors.

Limited to 20 English language and 20 Spanish language participants. Registration is required.

If spots are available at the time of VR boarding, non-senior participants may be offered a seat.

Let’s celebrate our roots, share our dreams, and honor the wisdom of our elders together!

Please note: If you register and are not present five minutes before the program begins, your spot may be given to someone on the waitlist or a walk-in guest.
