Halloween
Spooktacular
The Halloween Spooktacular, sponsored by the City of Whittier
Community Services Department and other generous local organizations,
is a safe and fun-filled Halloween event for the whole family!
The Spooktacular is held October 31, from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m.
at the Community Center. Children and families are invited
to participate in costume contests, carnival games, concessions,
inflatables and bounce houses and an opportunity to meet “The
Great Pumpkin” (bring your cameras, parents!).
Summer Concerts in the Park
Spend warm summer evenings at the park listening to fabulous
live music! This is a great Whittier tradition for summertime!
Monday evenings, beginning at 7 p.m., bands will entertain
audiences at Whittier’s Central Park, located on the
corner of Bailey Street and Washington Avenue. On Thursday
evenings entertainment will be provided at Parnell Park, located
at the corner of Scott Avenue and Lambert Road. The concerts
are sponsored by the Whittier Cultural Arts and Parks and
Recreation Commissions. Click

Founders’
Day
Held the third Saturday in May, Whittier celebrates Founders’
Day. The festivities begin with a parade in front of City
Hall that travels to Central Park in Uptown Whittier. Once
at Central Park, there are performances from talented youth
groups and exhibits from the Native American, Mexican and
Quaker groups who resided in the Whittier area over 100 years
ago. Demonstrations and crafts from the era of Whittier’s
founding explore daily life, culture and customs. Lace making,
quilt construction, Indian face and rock painting will fascinate
young and old alike. |
