Saturday | October 11 | 8am-12pm

We’re closing out this year’s Wellness & Waves series with something extra special: a UCLA Health Takeover at the Pier!

This free community event invites guests of all ages to “Be A Kid For A Day” with a joyful mix of movement, play, and wellness activities. Think morning walks, runs, yoga, games, and interactive experiences designed to spark fun while supporting self-care and mental wellbeing.

In partnership with UCLA Health, the Pier will transform into an open-air hub for health and happiness—open to the public and specially shared with UCLA Health employees and their families.

✨ Free, family-friendly, and open to everyone.
