Kiwis in LA is a social and business networking organization for New Zealanders and “friends of New Zealand” in Los Angeles and Orange Counties. We work to promote all things New Zealand to the Southern California community – the people, the culture and produce of New Zealand. Overall, our mission is to promote and foster good relations between New Zealand and the United States through a variety of social and cultural events held in Los Angeles and Orange County. Kiwis in LA has been around in its current form since 2000, and has grown to include hundreds of Kiwis in around Los Angeles and Orange Counties. We hold lots of events during the year where Kiwis can get together and hear other Kiwi accents, and we keep Kiwis living here up-to-date on all things New Zealand in Los Angeles, such as where to buy Marmite and who makes the best pies in town. Key Kiwis in LA events include: ~ Kiwis in LA Waitangi Day Brekkie ~ Kiwis in LA Summer Picnic ~ Air New Zealand Kiwis in LA Art Show and Wine Tasting ~ Kiwis in LA Christmas Party We also hold pub nights in Santa Monica – and Costa Mesa so we keep all the Kiwis in the OC happy. And of course we let New Zealanders in Southern California know about ANZAC Day Commemorations in Los Angeles and San Diego. Remember to sign up for the Kiwis in LA newsletter – it’s the best way to find out what’s going on, and also join our Facebook page and group.
