On Wednesday, May 20th, we were able to attend the V.I.P. grand opening of the the all-new Heartlake City, an area inside LEGOLAND California based off of the LEGO Friends brand and show.
Our day started around 11am, when celebrities took position for photos and interviews on the "purple carpet".

OPENING CEREMONY: At 12pm, celebrities and the media gathered for the official opening ceremony.
LEGOLAND California's Julie Estrada came out and welcomed everyone to the event. She also thanked some of the people that make this new area possible. Then, the microphone was passed onto the Mayor of Heartlake City.
A very frantic Mayor came out. He could not find the key to unlock Heartlake City. Without, he could not start the carousel or even open the stables.
Suddenly, a little girl came out. In her backpack was the key, which she found herself.
Together, they unlock Heartlake City.
Then adjacent to the left of them, all five LEGO Friends came out and preformed a musical number.
Confetti cannons blasted confetti out and onto the crowd.
MIA'S RIDING CAMP:
With over 60 horses, this carousel is not to miss.
Tony Hawk and his daughter were one of the first to experience this new attraction.
