Photos: Juan Cabrillo Celebrates Fiesta Malibu

Juan Cabrillo Elementary school hosted its annual Fiesta Malibu event on Sunday, celebrating children and the Malibu community. Children and their families and friends came out to join the fun. Live entertainment was provided by talented local musicians. Children of all ages delighted in the wide variety of games and activities, including a bouncy slide, laser tag, gladiator joust, face painting, a pie-eating contest and much more. Mayor Skylar Peak gave Vintage Grocers general manager Eric Fuchser a key to the city for his generous donations to Malibu schools.

The fundraiser’s supporters and sponsors included the Rotary Club, Malibu Boys & Girls Club, Malibu Urgent Care, Malibu Unites and Vintage Grocers, along with endless hours put in by the PTA and parents, marking this the largest and most attended Fiesta Malibu to date.
