Fiesta Hermosa 2026 — Memorial Day Weekend
May 23 – May 25, 2026 Pier Plaza, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254

Fiesta Hermosa fills the heart of downtown Hermosa Beach across Memorial Day weekend with over 250 juried art and craft vendors, live music across multiple stages in Pier Plaza, local food and beverage vendors, and the full South Bay beach-city social scene in rare concentrated form. One of the most consistently attended street festivals in the South Bay, running since 1971 — Memorial Day and Labor Day editions mark the bookends of the beach summer. The vendor footprint runs through Pier Plaza and along the Strand from 11th Street toward the pier, covering several blocks of walkable beach-adjacent streets. Admission to browse is free. Music and performance stages run through the afternoon and into the evening on both Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Food vendors lean local — South Bay restaurants and specialty food makers. Parking in the nearby structure at 8th and Hermosa is the most reliable option; plan to walk several blocks in. Rideshare drop-off works well on the Strand. Check fiestahermosa.net for vendor map, stage schedule, and hours for the Memorial Day weekend edition.

34th Annual Canoga Park Memorial Day Parade 2026
May 25, 2026 Sherman Way & Owensmouth Ave, Cano…

The only Memorial Day parade in the City and County of Los Angeles. Not marketing -- it is literally true. While the rest of LA heads to the beach, Canoga Park has staged this parade every year since the early 1990s, and the 34th edition is the biggest yet. Theme: Saluting the Price of Freedom. Grand Marshal: Rear Admiral Dave Barnes, USN. The parade steps off at 11 AM on Sherman Way from Owensmouth Avenue east to Cozycroft Avenue, with a pre-ceremony at 10 AM. Mayor Karen Bass is expected to attend. The Condor Squadron flyover happens at approximately 11:15 AM. Expect marching bands from area high schools, vintage military vehicles, community floats, and around 5,000 spectators lining Sherman Way. Bleacher seating is available along the route. Coffee shops and restaurants on the surrounding blocks open early -- arrive by 9:30 AM to secure a clear sightline before the sidewalks fill. Free to attend. No tickets required. A free RSVP on Eventbrite helps the organizers plan crowd logistics. Street parking available throughout Canoga Park. The Metro Orange Line De Soto Station is four blocks away.

Temecula Memorial Day Observance & Flags of Honor 2026
May 25, 2026 28250 Ynez Rd, Temecula, CA 92591

Every May, the Temecula Duck Pond becomes something extraordinary. The Flags of Honor installation surrounds Veterans Memorial Park with hundreds of full-size American flags, creating one of the most visually striking patriotic displays in the Inland Empire. The flags fly from mid-May through June 1, but the Memorial Day Observance on May 25 is the centerpiece of the entire installation. The City of Temecula and local VFW posts host a formal ceremony at 10 AM featuring a live performance by the Temecula Valley Symphony, patriotic readings, a wreath-laying, and remarks from community leaders. The Duck Pond amphitheater setting -- surrounded by flags, adjacent to Veterans Memorial Park -- makes this one of the most visually memorable Memorial Day events in all of SoCal. This is hometown Temecula at its best: a genuine civic tradition that draws families, veterans, and first-timers alike. The symphony performance sets it apart -- this is not just a ceremony with remarks, it is a full observance with real musical weight behind it. Free and open to the public. Arrive by 9:45 AM for good standing room. Park along Ynez Road or in the adjacent shopping center lots. The flags installation is worth a visit any day between May 18 and June 1.

San Bernardino County Fair 2026
May 14 – May 24, 2026 14800 7th St, Victorville, CA 92395

Held each spring at the San Bernardino County Fairgrounds in Victorville, the San Bernardino County Fair is the Inland Empire's annual celebration of High Desert community, agriculture, and entertainment. The fair runs for nearly two weeks and draws visitors from across San Bernardino County and the greater Inland region for livestock shows, carnival rides, demolition derby, a full rodeo program, live country and regional music on the grandstand stage, fair food, and a robust artisan vendor market. The Victorville fairgrounds are easily accessible from the 15 Freeway — roughly 90 minutes from Los Angeles, making it a practical day trip for SoCal visitors who want the full county fair experience. Admission is priced per day; multi-day passes offer better value for families. Junior livestock auctions are a highlight for agricultural community members. The carnival midway runs through the full duration of the fair. Check sbcountyfair.com for the daily event schedule, headliner announcements, and gate pricing before visiting.

Vista Strawberry Festival
May 24, 2026 Downtown Vista, E Broadway & India…

Downtown Vista, May 24th. Free admission. E Broadway and Indiana Avenue turns into something that only happens once a year and only happens here — a whole town not performing its festival, but actually having one. The Strawberry Queen coronation is not ironic. The Strawberry Idol competition is not curated for an outside audience. The parade down Main Street draws people who've watched it for twenty years and people who moved here last spring and can't believe this is real. Vista does this with the confidence of a place that knows what it is and doesn't need validation. Food vendors line the blocks — strawberry shortcake in its honest form, the kind with the real biscuit, not the grocery-store shell. Local bands and school groups fill the entertainment stages not because a festival promoter booked them but because this is the town's stage. The kids are sticky-mouthed and running. The older couples have a usual spot. The weather in late May in Vista sits in the range where you don't think about weather at all, which is the best kind. No ticket needed. Bring a blanket if you want a parade spot. The strawberry lemonade is not optional.

LA Galaxy Star Wars Night — vs Houston Dynamo
May 23, 2026 18400 Avalon Blvd, Carson, CA 90746

Dignity Health Sports Park, Carson. May 24th, 2026. The LA Galaxy Star Wars Night against the Houston Dynamo is the version of an MLS match where the uniform and the narrative both arrive from a galaxy far away — limited-edition Star Wars jersey night, themed in-stadium elements, and professional soccer on the grass underneath it. Galaxy Star Wars nights have become events in their own right. The pregame energy carries the specific combination of sports anticipation and franchise fandom that produces something neither category generates alone. The jerseys are collectible — the limited edition versions that players wear during the match are the kind of item that surfaces at memorabilia shows years later with a story attached. Kids in full costume move through the same concourse as adult supporters who have been watching the Galaxy for years. The soccer itself is the anchor. The Dynamo are a legitimate Western Conference team; this is not a friendly or an exhibition. Professional MLS soccer at a proper stadium, with a crowd animated by the night's theme and the match's stakes simultaneously, is the kind of event that works whether you came primarily for the game or primarily for the galaxy. lagalaxy.com/starwars for tickets and the jersey program details. The themed sections are the move.

TOArts presents the YALA Film Festival
May 23, 2026 2100 E. Thousand Oaks Blvd, Scherr…

Thousand Oaks, May 23rd. The Scherr Forum at the Bank of America Performing Arts Center becomes a film festival for one evening — the YALA Film Festival, brought by TOArts to a venue with the acoustics and sightlines to make cinema feel like the event it was always meant to be. Film festivals at proper performing arts venues operate differently than multiplex screenings. The room holds the sound the way it was designed to. The audience assembles with intention — these are not passive ticket-buyers, they are people who chose a festival over a regular movie night. The programming at YALA is curated with a specific editorial eye, which means the films that appear here have been selected for a reason. The conversation that surrounds a festival screening turns two hours of film into an evening. Tickets at ticketmaster.com — lock your seats before the event fills. The Scherr Forum is a legitimate performing arts venue, built for this kind of experience. A film festival at a real theater is the version of moviegoing that reminds you why cinemas exist: the collective attention, the shared reaction, the walk out afterward when everyone is still inside what they just watched. Don't miss it — ticket availability is limited at a venue this size.

Boomtown Brewery in downtown Los Angeles runs free trivia every Tuesday at 8 PM — a general knowledge quiz hosted in the Arts District taproom, drawing teams from the downtown LA creative community for a night of craft beer and competitive trivia with prizes for the winners. The format is a standard general knowledge quiz with themed rounds mixed in, hosted by a rotating set of trivia hosts who keep the energy live and the pace honest.

Teams of up to six. Free to play. Prizes for the top finishers. The crowd is a mix of downtown creatives, brewery regulars, and competitive trivia teams who have been coming since the night launched. It is a casual event that people take seriously — which is exactly the right balance. Boomtown Brewery, 700 Jackson St, Los Angeles, CA 90012. Arts District, downtown LA. Every Tuesday at 8 PM.

Melrose Trading Post — Sunday Market
May 17, 2026 Fairfax High School, 7850 Melrose …

Melrose Trading Post is one of Los Angeles's most beloved weekly outdoor markets — a Sunday institution at Fairfax High School in West Hollywood where vendors sell vintage clothing, handcrafted artisan goods, antique furniture, art, records, and one-of-a-kind objects to a crowd that treats the market as a social gathering as much as a shopping trip. The Melrose Trading Post has been running since 1995, which gives it something most markets cannot manufacture: a real community. The same vendors return week after week, the same customers show up every Sunday, and the collective accumulation of that repetition creates something that feels more like a neighborhood ritual than a commercial event. The quality is genuinely variable — treasure hunting is part of the culture — but the atmosphere is consistent: creative, laid-back, and decidedly LA. Fairfax High School, 7850 Melrose Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90046 (parking lot). Every Sunday, year-round, from approximately 9 AM to 5 PM. $3 admission goes to benefit Fairfax High School programs. Parking limited in the lot — street parking on Melrose and Fairfax, or take the 217 bus. The market covers the school's full parking lot and can accommodate a few hours of serious exploration. Food trucks and vendors are on-site. Rain occasionally interrupts — check @melrosetradingpost for same-day status.
