One last highlight of the weekend is the Topanga Days Memorial Day Parade on Monday morning, May 26th from 8:30 am-10:30 am. This year, to honor our brave firefighters who protect Topanga, our Grand Marshal will be Assistant Fire Chief Drew Smith. Drew has immense knowledge and many years of service. For all this and more, we honor him along with all of our brave Firefighters who defend our Canyon. 

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 with Monday’s first wonderful band kicking off at 11 am sharp. Our Flag Raising Ceremony to honor our military will take place at 12 noon and Inara George will be singing America the Beautiful. All active members of the armed forces with military I.D. receive free entrance to Topanga Days on Memorial Day Monday.

The TCC has also been very fortunate to secure Topanga Days sponsorships. Sophie Zeiler, the TCC VP in charge of Fundraising adds, “We are grateful to everyone for helping to sponsor our fundraiser this year, as this event has become very expensive to host.” This year, the Anthony Pritzker Family Foundation, The Witch House, Watch Duty, Molson Coors, The Wright Way Team with Compass Realty, and 101 Exit have led the way in being our Premium & Backbone Trail sponsors.” All sponsorship information can be found online at: Become a Sponsor: Topanga Days.com. We are also grateful to the local businesses again who have stepped up to maintain the tradition of the parade. For information regarding the parade or to register a float, please visit Parade: TopangaDays.com
