Barnsdall Art Park Foundation’s iconic fundraiser, Barnsdall Fridays Wine Tasting, is continuing its 16th iteration through September 26. All proceeds for this annual fundraising series support cultural programming, landscape, infrastructure, and historic preservation within the Park.
The event, which continues to attract sell-out crowds, is held on Olive Hill and the West Lawn of Hollyhock House, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and the only UNESCO World Heritage site in Los Angeles, every Friday until September 26 from 5:30 PM to 9 PM. While onsite, throughout August, guests can experience the COLA 2025 “Design and Visual Artist Exhibition” at DCA’s Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery—a celebrated annual showcase of new works by LA-based artists.
For the month of September, the City of LA’s Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA) will be presenting selected performers for live performances “paired” with exquisite wines. The performers will be announced closer to. Musical genres and wine selections are:
• September 5, 2025 – The Passion of Buenos Aires (Tango, Cumbia, Cuarteto) paired with wines from Argentina
