The Ilan-Lael Foundation’s 2nd Annual Pacific Rim Park Friendship Walk Returns

The Ilan-Lael Foundation is excited to announce the return of the 2nd Annual Pacific Rim Park Friendship Walk, set to take place on Sunday, November 19th at the Shoreline Park on Shelter Island, home to their incredible “Pearl of the Pacific” sculpture.

This year’s event holds special significance as it celebrates the Pacific Rim Park Project and focuses on the San Diego-Tijuana region, where the Ilan-Lael Foundation is actively preparing for their participation in the World Design Capital 2024.

The Pacific Rim Park Friendship Walk

The Pacific Rim Park Friendship Walk, hosted by the Ilan-Lael Foundation, is not only a celebration of cultural diversity and environmental conservation, but also a commemoration of the ongoing Pacific Rim Park Project. This visionary project aims to create an enduring connection between the cultures of the Pacific Rim through the creation of a stunning sculpture park that bridges the gap between art, nature, and community.

With the Ilan-Lael Foundation’s upcoming participation in the World Design Capital 2024, this year’s Friendship Walk takes on added importance.

The San Diego-Tijuana region serves as a vibrant cultural crossroads, and the foundation’s involvement in the global design community highlights the unique creativity and inclusivity that characterizes the area. Carlos de la Mora, CEO of the World Design Capital 2024, will be giving a short presentation at the end of the walk to discuss the year-long celebration of the San Diego and Tijuana region.

The 2nd Annual Pacific Rim Park Friendship Walk promises an engaging and culturally rich entertainment lineup for participants to enjoy. Experience the vibrant melodies of mariachi music filling the air as talented local musicians serenade attendees with the soulful sounds of Mexico.

Be captivated by the graceful and colorful Mexican folklorico dance performances that bring to life the rich traditions of Mexico. Satisfy your taste buds with delectable treats from several local food trucks, offering a diverse selection of international cuisine. Don’t forget to explore the Ilan-Lael pop-up gift shop, where you can discover unique treasures and souvenirs.

Plus, registered walkers have the exciting opportunity to participate in a drawing for fantastic prizes, adding an extra layer of excitement and anticipation to this wonderful community event.
