SoCalMoms was born from the desire to connect moms both offline (through local events) and online (through our resource center, discussion & groups) with their local community. We are focused on hosting events and providing discussion, information and resources in three main areas (1) Healthy Living, (2) Green baby/mom/home and (3) Child Development ages 0 to 5.

The course kept little riders moving all weekend long at ! 🚲✨

From first time riders building confidence, to experienced little bikers speeding through the course with huge smiles on their faces, the energy on the bike course was nonstop joy from start to finish. 💖

It was a space where kids could practice new skills, stay active, and experience the freedom and fun of riding in a supportive environment. 🚴‍♀️

Thank you for being one of our longtime festival partners, and bringing the course back again this year for another unforgettable weekend of fun!

💫 Great Big Family Play Day: Powered By Our Partners 💫

We’d like to give a huge thank you to for creating one of the most loved spaces of the weekend at , the Volvo Family Lounge!

It was the perfect place for families to relax, recharge, play, and connect together all festival long.

Kids had the best time at the “Drive and Design” station building LEGO cars and racing them on the track, potting their own plants at the gardening station, and bringing their creations to life by coloring directly on a real Volvo car! 🎨✨

Parents were also able to check out several Volvo car models and refuel with coffee from Volvo’s partners at ☕

Thank you for helping us create such a thoughtful, interactive, and family friendly experience for our community this year! 🚗💫

🎉 P.S. RETURNS this fall in San Diego! Stay tuned for our official announcement with all the details coming SOON!
