Big Dog Walk For Life Postponed
2024-06-22 08:00 - 12:00
LA Animal Services has made the decision to postpone the large-scale Big Dog Walk for Life and Shelter Clean Up event that was scheduled on June 22 to ensure we maximize assistance to animals in our shelters while keeping our animals, volunteers, and staff safe.
We deeply appreciate the enthusiastic response to the Big Dog Walk for Life and Shelter Clean Up event, and we look forward to reimagining it this Fall with all of you. We will keep you informed of new developments and look forward to coming together for an exciting and successful event.
Please remember that, even without a large group event, dog walking happens every day in the shelters, and those who are new to this can still sign up to get trained on safe handling and taking dogs out for exercise.

LA Animal Services is calling on Angelenos to help make a BIG difference on Saturday, June 22, 2024. All six LA Animal Centers are participating in the first Big Dog Walk for Life & Shelter Clean Up event. From 8AM-12PM, volunteers and the public can visit the Animal Services Center of their choice and take a big dog out for a walk, or help by cleaning dog kennels while our canine friends are out on a walk.

Fourth of July Parade
2024-07-04 11:00 - 14:00
Join the Neighborhood Council of Westchester Playa as we recognize our 2024 NCWP Stars of the Neighborhood during Westchester’s annual Fourth of July Parade. The purpose of the award is to identify and honor those unsung heroes of our community who quietly, persistently and without fanfare voluntarily perform good deeds that serve the needs of their neighbors and/or the community.
The parade will begin at 11 a.m. on July 4. The theme for the 24th Annual Parade is Sounds of Summer, which celebrates all of the great music and special things that make summer a special time of the year!
Let’s come together to be grateful for living in LA and create unforgettable memories. The parade will feature lively music and a variety of parade entries that showcase the spirit of our community.
The parade route travels along Loyola Boulevard from Westchester Park to Loyola Marymount University. Founded in 2000, the parade celebrates small town ambience and home town values in the Playa & Westchester areas of coastal Los Angeles. It is spearheaded by the LAX Coastal Chamber of Commerce, which was founded in 1953. The parade includes floats, kids groups, fancy cars with local dignitaries, bands and an abundance of red, white and blue decor.
