The City of Culver City has received an Award of Excellence for Marketing Campaign from the California Park & Recreation Society (CPRS) for its Fiesta La Ballona Celebration.
Culver City's recognition in the category of Marketing and Communications will be honored at the 2015 California Park and Recreation Society Conference and Expo to be held in Sacramento from March 10-13.

We are honored to receive this award on behalf of our community," said Daniel Hernandez, Director of Parks, Recreation and Community Services.

A successful marketing campaign is vital in order to communicate with those who are return visitors to Culver City and to newcomers to our community. The City is grateful to be recognized for its marketing efforts for this popular event," said Culver City Mayor Meghan Sahli-Wells.
