TOPANGA, CA / ACCESS Newswire / April 17, 2025 / Topanga Days is back! In its 50th year, the three-day family-friendly festival and fundraiser continues to draw a diverse group of people together through an eclectic mix of musical acts with plenty of activities that are fun for all ages plus local artists and vendors, food, and the outrageous and whacky Memorial Day parade. This year's musical lineup features the surf rock, neo psychedelic vibes of Los Angeles natives, Allah-Las, on Saturday, May 24th at 5:30 p.m., soul, reggae, punk, ska blending dance pop legends, The English Beat, on Sunday, May 25th at 5:30 p.m., and star powered 70s rock cover band, Chevy Metal, on Monday, May 26th at 5:45 p.m. The diverse, high-quality lineup also includes Orgone, Cubensis, Spazmatics, Venice, Miracle Glass Company, Regina Ferguson, Chester Copperpot, Greenhorn Brothers, Dark Desert Highway, Mr. Ginger Merkin, Virr, and James Houlahan.
Founded in 1973 by actors, writers, artists, musicians, and nature-lovers, who called Topanga Canyon home, Topanga Days Country Fair began as a grassroots fundraiser to support the Topanga Community House. Today, residents remain a mix of artists, families, professionals, and free spirits. Music aficionados, ranging from Millennials to Boomers, flock to the annual event nestled in the Santa Monica Mountains to enjoy arts and craft booths, belly dancing, and more than 25 musical acts performing on two stages over three days. With plenty of activities for kids-from creative face painting to a Kids' Zone with various games, a playground, giant slide, and bounce house-this event makes for the perfect family outing.
Madcap games and contests like the Sack Race, Egg Toss, and the notorious Pie Eating Contest make for inter-generational excitement. A highlight of the weekend is the Memorial Day Parade on Monday morning, May 26th from 8:30 a.m. - 10:30 a.m. The parade features an impressive stream of floats, cars, horses, dogs, kids, fire trucks and more. This year, to honor our brave fire fighters who protect Topanga, our Grand Marshal will be assistant Fire Chief Drew Smith. The impressive parade of floats, cars, kids, firetrucks and more begins at Pine Tree Circle and ends at the entrance to the Topanga Community Center where Monday's festivities will begin with Inara George and a special guest singing America The Beautiful and a flag raising ceremony honoring members of the military. All members of the armed forces, past and present, with military I.D. receive free entrance to the Country Fair.
Food fare ranges from BBQ and Pizza to Mexican and Vegan, with old-fashioned Kettle Corn, deserts, ice cream, smoothies and much more. There will be beer, wine, and our popular sangria bar, too.
Parking is available on the street with free shuttle service. Limited handicapped parking is provided on the Community House grounds. Only service dogs with appropriate and current papers, wearing vests, are allowed.
Founded in 1949, the Topanga Community Center is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to the improvement and preservation of the Topanga Community House and its surrounding grounds. 2017 marked an official name change from the Topanga Community Club to the Topanga Community Center to better reflect the organization's mission to serve the community with low-cost programs for children and seniors. Topanga Days is its main fundraiser of the year, and still boasts very inexpensive ticket prices for an entire day of concerts and outdoor entertainment.
Topanga Days Headliners
Since 2008, Los Angeles based garage-rock revivalists, Allah-Lahs, have been combining the harmonies and pop hooks of the British Invasion, the trippy atmosphere of West Coast psychedelic bands, and the raw swagger of countless American garage rockers.
A pioneer of the ska revival movement in England in the early 1980s, The English Beat, are still entertaining crowds with an energetic sound that fuses Latin and African beats, ska, reggae, punk, soul, and pop into a perfect balance of danceable pop melodies and rhythms.
Chevy Metal is a high powered 70s rock cover band originally founded by Wiley Hodgden and the late drumming legend, Taylor Hawkins. With Taylor Hawkins' son, Shane Hawkins, taking over on drums, a regular lineup of music pros, and star special guests, Chevy Metal masterfully performs deep cuts from bands like Black Sabbath, Van Halen, Queen, and the Rolling Stones.
