Topanga Days Country Fair

Tucked away in picturesque Topanga Canyon, this Memorial Day weekend festival has become a favorite local tradition. Bohemian residents of all ages as well as curious onlookers converge to celebrate music, food, arts and Mother Earth. Some complain that the masses have commercialized this neighborhood event, but there are still enough true hippies, vegan food vendors and healing arts to make you feel like you’re at a West Coast offshoot of Woodstock. Let the kids enjoy games like three-legged races, water balloon basketball and tug-o-war while you dance to local bands—homegrown surf rockers the Allah-Las are headlining on Saturday. And don’t miss the DIY Memorial Day parade on Monday morning (8:30am), which this year will honor the firefighters who protect Topanga. Parking troubles are alleviated by a free shuttle along Topanga Canyon Boulevard.
