Topanga Days Country Fair


Come on up, Memorial Day Weekend for our annual celebration of Topanga Days. What began as the meek and mild Strawberry Festival has grown over the decades to be a weekend of music, food and fun. The event is the main fundraiser for the maintenance and operation of the Topanga Community House.

This year, the music line-up is really great. Veruca Salt is Saturday's headliner for Indie Day. I'm looking forward to seeing John Doe playing songs from his new solo album on Sunday. Monday is always one big party with all the Topanga favorites like Venice. This Monday will close with the Young Dubliners. There's lots of beautiful space on the grass to park and listen, and always room for one more in the dust bowl to dance.

Along with the music comes good food and fine art. Only handcrafted goods will grace the art fair booths this year. There will be some of my favorite local artists such as Bungalow Art by Robyn Feeley and Topanga Art Tile by the Doolin Family. Make sure to stop by the amazing jewelry created by Sage Knight for Generations of Women.


There is a TERRIFIC kids area. More about that later!
