March 4 – “Flying Through History” will be presented by Marva Thomas, current Long Beach volunteer and Airport Advisory Commissioner.

March 18 – “The International Printing Museum” will be presented by Mark Barbour, the Executive Director and Curator of the International Printing Museum in Carson. He will be discussing the Museum’s mission to teach the history of printing and books, and how innovations in printing helped shaped the modern world.
March 25 – “Bob Dylan and the Nobel Prize” will be presented by members Ann and Lee strong who will tell the controversial story of how singer-songwriter Bob Dylan won a Pulitzer Prize (2008) and a Nobel Prize (2016) for literature, not music. Various officials will explain the reasoning for the prestigious awards, and sample some of the lyrics Dylan wrote.
On Saturday, March 7, 2026, Coffee & Cars will take place from 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. on the top parking deck of the Promenade Mall. On the first Saturday of every month, a group of car enthusiasts bring their Hot Rod, Custom, Muscle Car, Sports Car, Antique, and other special interest vehicles to this location where you can admire the cars, meet the owners and ask them questions.
