What was once an industrial waterfront district is transformed into a community gathering place and an instant icon for the Port of Los Angeles. WET collaborated with landscape architects EDAW to shape this social playground and urban beach, where families are drawn together, neighbors connect, and a brighter future emerges for the entire community.

An intimate pathway pulls visitors into the heart of Fanfare, where fifty-eight choreographed jets build a dramatic entryway into a world of music, imagination, and elemental magic. Wooden benches offer a friendly view of the liquid stage, while an arc of Canary Island palm trees stands sentinel at the water's edge, as if protecting the untold secrets of this enchanted place.
