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.
