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 here to view full brochure

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.
