We never do anything commonplace or run-of-the-mill here in Topanga. Like our mountain roads, there is always a twist or two. Such is the case with our fair.
Welcome to the 35th Annual Topanga Days Country Fair
This Memorial Day Weekend, May 24 - 26, our celebrated festival will take place at the Topanga Community House. Bring family and friends to explore the flavors of our beautiful canyon. The kids will find plenty of play with games, facepainting, and more. Adults will find lots of good food, art, and music (and quite a bit of playtime, too!).
Come enjoy a day away from city life. Topanga Days pays respect to the many faces of this town:
Pioneering - Rustic - Independent - Relaxing - Hippie-haven
Slightly-off-center - Nurturing - Artful
You will find it all those flavors and more blended into this recipe for a most extraordinary fair.
Visit with a holistic healer, browse among eclectic artisans or just stake a place on the lawn with a cold beer and listen to some great music. If you are a people-watcher, this crowd will be a treat.
Come on Saturday for the best selection of treasures. Sunday will continue the fair with more music and food, food, FOOD!
The music is always fantastic on both the Indoor Stage and Outdoor Main Stage. The Indoor Stage also will host Melanie Kareem's fabulous belly dancing troupe. From the tiny little beginners on up to the masterful experts, these dancers are a whirl of color and grace, transporting you away like a fresh breeze through an exotic oasis.
My favorite day is Memorial Day Monday. Beginning with the strangest homegrown parade you'll ever see, it's our local tradition to gather, see your neighbors, and just revel in the spirit of Topanga. The Bowl Bar does a brisk business of keeping those dancing in the dust well hydrated with cold beer or icy soda. I've got to say - I will be one of those dancers!
Venice is back! I love this band! Nobody can make a cover its own like Venice can. I think their secret is that they just kick back and play whatever they want, with the sole goal in mind of NO WORRIES! I dare you to sit still!!
Chevy Metal will headline Monday as a brilliant climax to the festival. Taylor Hawkins of the Foo Fighters fronts this band of incredible musicians who will rock the crowd until they make us leave!
It's a good natured, family friendly, eco-conscious, diverse and uniquely Topanga experience. You deserve a break - come up and see us!
