Arcadia is a majority Asian American city, and Lunar New Year and the Mid-Autumn Festival are two of the biggest weekends of the year here. Both are on your calendar, built to be respectful and real: no costumes, no stereotypes, and a local Chinese American community member reviews the signs and menu with us before anything is printed.

Every date is an open slot. Pick the ones you like, swap in your own events and tournaments, and we plan the rest together.
The gap: Your Instagram and Facebook have been quiet since 2019 and 2020, and there is no branded drink stop or photo moment on the course today. Arcadia High sits on Campus Drive, right by the course, and nothing on the course speaks to teens and families yet.
Bring it back: your Customer Appreciation Weekend, as a Sunny Drop day with raffle Drops for your regulars. It is on the calendar for Dec 2027, or any weekend you pick.
We bring the marketing and a fun reason to visit. You just say yes to hosting us.
Teens and families: Junior and family days, after-school and weekend Drops, a photo stop teens actually want to post. Youth days are zero-proof: no alcohol anywhere near them.
Optional event-day add-on · served by the course's licensed staff
On adult event days, your own licensed, 21+ staff come to our cart, open your drink and pour it into a “Santa Anita x Sunny Drop” cup with a fruit garnish and a branded napkin. It is sold on your license, on your premises and on your register, and you keep all of the alcohol revenue. Sunny Drop never sells, pours or handles alcohol, our side of the cart stays zero-proof, and it is never offered at junior, teen or family Drops.
