Give 5 Productions is putting on a Celebration of Diversity on Friday, July 3, and Saturday, July 4, at the 48,000-square-foot outdoor field west of Stanley Marketplace. The Reminders headline the event, while the Beverly Belles and Honey Taps will offer a vintage patriotic tribute, the Ricardo Peña Trio performs salsa, Latin rock and more, and Ivory Sykes plays an electric violin for an Elijah McClain tribute.
