Memorial Day is just around the corner, the last Monday of May, this year May 28th. Memorial Day Weekend is an exciting weekend for everyone, since almost everyone has a day off the following Monday and it’s the unofficial beginning of summer. So, it’s time to put on your flip flops, shorts, and bring the whole family out for an eventful Memorial Day weekend because there are a lot of fun things to do in Los Angeles!
Looking to have a Memorial Day fiesta and enjoy the weather at the beach? Then come over to Hermosa Beach for a fun-filled Memorial fiesta day! There will be crafts, over 200 vendor booths, petting zoo and also live entertainment! Every year Hermosa Beach has a Memorial Day fiesta and people just don’t come just for the crafts, they also come for the great music and good food! I know, I’ll be there, because Hermosa’s buses and generators will be fueled by biodiesel. YAY for biodiesel! The Memorial Day fiesta starts at 10am, so be sure to get there early. Hope to see you there!
Live near the good ol’ valley? Well come out to Canoga Park Memorial Day Parade. The parade consists of military marching units, floats, fancy old antique cars and much more. There will also be vendors, food and great music! The Memorial Day parade will be held on Memorial Day and it will begin with a 5k run and then the parade begins at 11am. Sounds like a fun day to me!
If you’re going to the Canoga Park Memorial Day Parade, make sure you stop by the St. Nicholas Valley Greek Festival located in Northridge. The Memorial Day festival provides a Greek essence with a cultural experience with food, pastries, dancing and live music. Admission is free and it begins Memorial Day weekend.
Looking for a bit of a challenge this Memorial Day weekend? How about a Music Festival that provides dancing lessons? Come on down to Cajun Creole Music Festival located in Simi Valley. There will be a full line schedule of Zydeco music, blues and dancing demonstrations. There’s also going to be activities for kids of all ages.
On the day of Memorial day, Forest Lawn is having a Patriotic Memorial Day program at every Forest Lawn location. It will take place on Memorial Day Monday. The program contributes to honor veterans and commemorates men and women who have died while serving for the military. This event is free for those who want to pay their respects.
