The California Culture & Arts Festival present the Cali Picnic ‘In A Major Way’
An intentional tribute to all things California – food, music, cars and various recreational activities – The Cali Picnic is an authentic reminder of ‘home’ for West Coast transplants that now live in Atlanta and parts of Georgia.
For others, it is either an oddity that could never happen on California soil, or a California filled experience sans the drama.

In today’s society, many of us are struggling in our relationships – good or bad – happy or sad – we are striving to make them better than they were yesterday. From our personal observation, the issue that many us have is, that we react more from our emotional side than the practical side, meaning we “feel this way” more than “I thought this” with respect to the issue.Last year we created and hosted a series of events entitled Kocktails & Konversations with a few close friends, as a panel discussion on “What It Takes For Proper Relationship Development.” The focus of the discussion was – Where our emotions should stop and where critical thinking should begin in our love relationship development. We decided to begin the serious again one expand the platform, this time we have invited local celebrities to sit on a panel and discuss a variety of topics.Each of the co-panelist have similar, yet diverse backgrounds allowing attendees to relate in different aspect to the panelist views / perspective on Love and Relationships. We invite you to come participate ask questions, see how we relate to others, and make new friends.Explore Atlanta at your own pace
