It’s one and a half acres, centrally located between Foothill Blvd. and La Cañada Blvd. What’s so special about Memorial Park in La Canada? Memorial Day Weekend is a significant event in La Canada, and most events are held at or near La Canada’s Memorial Park. It kicks off with a Saturday morning car show and breakfast. On Sunday, there is a barbecue dinner; typically, the LCHS Jazz band will play.
The local parade and Afternoon in the Park will kick off the much-anticipated Music in the Park Summer Series. This beloved community tradition brings residents together to celebrate the start of summer in a festive and family-friendly way. The Summer Concerts run every Sunday evening from Memorial Day through Labor Day, offering a season full of free live music and good company.
Each week, friends, neighbors, and visitors gather on the lawn at Memorial Park with picnic blankets, lawn chairs, and baskets full of treats. The atmosphere feels relaxed and welcoming. Kids run and play, couples dance, and everyone soaks in the music. The lineup features classic rock, reggae, jazz, soul, and contemporary favorites, offering something for every musical taste. The event goes beyond just a concert—it’s a weekly community gathering under the stars.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the city moved the weekly Farmers Market to Memorial Park to create more space. This change gave vendors and visitors room to spread out, making the market safer and easier to navigate. The adjustment supported public health efforts and kept the park lively and central to community life. Today, the Farmers Market and the Summer Concert Series continue serving as seasonal highlights.
