Ojai Day is an annual downtown street fair from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. planned for Saturday, October 18, 2025. Over 100 vendors, local original art and jewelry, dance performances, great food, kids' activities, crafts demonstrations, classic cars, health, wellness and spiritual demonstrations and much more.
The event was originally conceived in 1917, took a hiatus in the 1920’s and has been back with a vengeance since 1993. It’s grown tremendously and has become one of the most popular events in Ojai. The event itself celebrates life, culture and the arts.
Ojai Day was first celebrated in the 1920's after glass magnate Edward Libbey offered to finance the construction of the downtown Arcade, present day Libbey Park and the post office with its 65-foot bell tower. Ojai's most prominent citizens decided to host a city wide celebration to show their appreciation to Libbey. Thus, Ojai Day was born.
The name Ojai comes from the Chumash language and means “The Moon” or “Bird’s Nest.”
Admission and parking are free! Visit www.ojaiday.com for more information.

The Ventura Fire Department Honor Guard invites first responders and community members to join in honoring the lives lost on September 11, 2001. The Memorial Stair Climb will be hosted on Sunday, September 7, 2025, at 8:00 a.m. at the Crowne Plaza Ventura Beach, located at 450 E. Harbor Blvd.
Participants will climb the equivalent of 110 stories, symbolizing the height of the World Trade Center’s Twin Towers and paying tribute to the 343 FDNY firefighters, 60 law enforcement and emergency personnel, 55 military personnel, and the 200+ firefighters who have since passed from 9/11-related illnesses.
The stair climb is not a timed race. Participants are encouraged to climb at their own pace.
“This is more than a memorial, it’s a living act of remembrance,” said Fire Chief David Endaya. “We climb to honor those who ran toward danger and to reflect on their extraordinary courage and sacrifice. This event connects our community in a shared moment of respect, resilience, and gratitude.”
Registration is $50 per climber, limited to 150 participants. The fee helps cover event expenses, with proceeds supporting the Ventura Fire Honor Guard in its mission to honor fallen firefighters through funerals, memorial services, and other ceremonial events. These funds assist with travel and ensure the legacy of those who serve and sacrifice is respectfully upheld.
Community members who wish to support the cause without climbing are welcome to attend as spectators or make a donation. To register, donate, or learn more, visit www.VenturaFireHonorGuard.org.
