Topanga Days, the Topanga Community Center‘s (TCC) main fundraiser of the year, and the beloved parade are finally happening again this year, after a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic. Because of the cost, this year’s event will be a two-day event (instead of three days) over Memorial Day weekend, Sunday, May 29, and Monday, May 30, from 10 a.m.–7 p.m., featuring great local bands and food trucks.
As costs to produce Topanga Days have increased, so have permitting fees for the parade, and TCC approached local businesses to ask if they were willing to help maintain the parade. Fourteen local businesses each donated $500 to do just that. We hope this might become an ongoing community effort to assure that the parade can always be part of the Topanga Days weekend.
The TCC acknowledges the following businesses for their generosity to uphold this community tradition: Jalan Jalan Imports; Chryssa Lightheart, Realtor, “I Never Quit”; Adrian Wright and Jordan Wright of The Wright Way Team at COMPASS; Topanga Living Café; Exposition Studios; Endless Color; Suncoast Mortgage; Canyon Gourmet; Campion Walker Garden Design; Topanga Lumber; Homes To Di For Group; Kramer Insurance Services Inc.; William Preston Bowling, a Pritchett Rapf Realtor; Abacus Wealth Partners.
The TCC is excited and grateful to be able to bring back Topanga Days and its Parade thanks to these fabulous donors, this year and, perhaps, every year.
