Details

DescriptionDoors Open Peninsula (DOP) 2023: Celebrating 100 Years of History on the Palos Verdes Peninsula, was spearheaded and coordinated by the Palos Verdes Library District (PVLD) and Peninsula Friends of the Library (PFL) in conjunction with area cities, and community organizations. A major goal of the program was to bring the community together after the isolating effects from the COVID pandemic through a community wide participatory event to engage and encourage people of all ages to discover and learn about the Peninsula’s rich history, cultural institutions, points of interest, people and open space.

DOP's main event was a community-wide open house in which over 38 organizations opened their doors to the public and let them know of their history.

DOP featured a central gathering location on the grounds of the 1923 rally. The site included community organization information booths, a local symphonic band, a Model T car show, a “kid’s zone” area, mini therapy ponies, celebration cake, and speeches by elected officials.
