Join us for this year’s Rossmoor Community festival co-sponsored by the Rossmoor Homeowners Association and the Rossmoor Community Service District. Everyone is welcome to attend this family event. Come early stay – late. The ever popular classic car show fills up the southeast section of the park with both old and unique vehicles. Prizes are awarded for the various categories and many car enthusiasts and groups participate.

More rides and games added for kids of all ages and wrist bands for the day will be sold for only $20.

Live entertainment includes our favorite magician “Mister Pork Pie” Sound Waves, Jazz Angels, Friday Night Lights Dance Group, and Sportin Woodie Band.

The day begins with the first annual High Heel Dash sponsored by We Care. Register at 10 AM or on line at wecarelosalamitos.org.
The famous Dog Parade starts at 2 p.m. with free registration scheduled from 12-2. All dogs from Rossmoor and neighboring cities are welcome.

And the food!
