Friendship Center to host 25th Annual Festival of Hearts

MONTECITO, Calif. – Friendship Center is getting ready to host its 25th Annual Festival of Hearts.

This year’s seaside-elegance themed, Silver Jubilee celebration will take place on Saturday, Feb. 3, from 12:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Rosewood Miramar Beach across the street from Friendship Center at 1759 S Jameson Ln, Montecito, CA. 

Friendship Center’s Festival of Hearts will honor all the caregivers, past and present, who have supported an aging loved one through their final voyage.

This fundraiser enables Friendship Center to continue providing care and companionship to seniors and adults living with dementia.

One of the highlights of this fundraiser is the beloved Heart-Art silent auction.

Local artists are given simple hearts to transform into pieces of art using paint, glue and other materials.

The funds raised will support Friendship Center’s commitment to never turning someone in need away due to their inability to pay.

This financial support ensures that seniors and adults living with dementia can benefit from the organization’s programs, while also offering their caregivers much-needed respite.

Activities and programs honor individuality, promote socialization, and foster a compassionate community for aging adults, according to the center.
