Westfield Santa Anita’s Promenade expansion opens this afternoon with a grand opening celebration at the Arcadia shopping center that will continue through the weekend.

The Promenade offers shoppers an ‘open-air experience in a garden oasis setting.’ Opening weekend festivities include live musical performances by the California Philharmonic, a $5,000 cash giveaway, fashion shows, food sampling and a special Mother’s Day gift.

The $120-million, 115,000-square-foot expansion features 30 new stores and restaurants including Banana Republic, Coach and Talbots.
