Together, these elements will create a welcoming festival-like atmosphere attracting families from all over.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re leading the effort to find new ways to partner together and lift up the work that [museums] are all doing and building on the success we already have,\u201d said Lauren Lockhart, La Jolla Historical Society\u2019s executive director. \u201cIt\u2019s a way for us all to reach new audiences. We recognize that our work is strengthened through collaboration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The inaugural Growing Together event will take place on March 8, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. <\/p>\n<p>This event expands on La Jolla Historical Society\u2019s already popular Family Day and Play Day, in partnership with the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego. The six-part series will include Fern Street Circus, which is a community-based circus arts organization. In addition, there will be community partner booths, a taco truck, and free lawn games at each of the events.<\/p>\n<p>The Growing Together effort builds around existing successful programs while reaching out to new audiences.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe already have programs for young people,\u201d Lockhart said. \u201cThis is our chance to increase museum awareness, not just in La Jolla, but across San Diego County and beyond.
