About Topanga Days: Topanga Roots Evolution
Ever since the land which is the grounds of The Topanga Community Club was donated in 1949, things have been evolving while still holding on to rich traditions. What started out as Topanga Canyons Women’s Club, is now a second home for all who make it so and tend to it’s needs while serving the Community whether members or not. A volunteer ethic has continued to branch this evolving family tree into a Community Forest.
Topanga Days is a 3 day Fair & Fund Raiser celebrating Music & The Arts, held May 23, 24 & 25 2009 (Sat, Sun & Mon), on the Topanga Community Club grounds at 1440 North Topanga Canyon Blvd, Topanga, Ca. 90290. It is tucked midway between The Pacific Coast Highway near Santa Monica on the south and on the north, The San Fernando Valley & Woodland Hills. The Fair opens it’s gates from 10 AM to 7 PM into a natures paradise setting on the edge of the State Park.
Topanga Days holds a rich tradition of family fun with it’s Americana style games, such as the egg toss, sack races & the pie eating contest to name a few. The Arts are heartily supported with multiple stages filled with a diverse talent roster of music & dance, an abundance of booth vendors ranging from high end, quality art pieces, to one of a kind, affordable hand crafted gifts. No Topanga Days would be complete with out select food and drink vendors who offer up their goods to the needs of the Vegetarian and the non-Vegetarian.
To promote the theme of the fair, Topanga Roots Evolution, Topanga Days pays a tribute to the long since gone, but not forgotten venue known as The Corral. The indoor Community House Stage will recreate the fun and funky vibe of The Corral which was a music venue in Topanga Canyon during the 60’s & 70’s. If there were still walls there to talk, would be endless stories of the beginning times of the Album Rock period and the hippie, peace, love & anti-war movements. Bands and artists such as former canyon residents Neil Young, Little Feat, Spirit, Canned Heat and so many more graced The Corral’s stage. Even Jim Morrison of The Door’s wrote the song Road House Blues about The Corral.
This years brings a fresh & newly dubbed area The Canyon Underground, which will have yet another stage with fine local & regional talent, booths and affordable items including an art walk. The Canyon Underground is being co-developed by the Community Clubs own after school program, Topanga Youth Services (TYS) and a wonderfully creative young group of Topanga’s finest from 27 Creation, a name taken via Highway 27 which follows the Topanga Creeks path.
The Topanga Elementary School Enrichment Program (TEP) will keep the youngest kids in the bunch entertained with fun, games, story telling and other activities. The Kid’s Corner, always a favorite spot for tots and a welcomed area for the parents, will run as a separate benefit for TEP, who’s mission is to fund and operate supplemental programs to enrich the educational experience of the students at Topanga Elementary Charter School.
