78th Annual Pilgrim Place Festival

Friday and Saturday, November 13 and 14, 2026

10:00 AM - 4:00 PM

A beloved tradition since 1948, Festival is one of Pilgrim Place’s greatest gifts to the community.

With free admission and parking, this year’s event will feature:

  • *Free children’s activities, including crafts, rides, educational live animal exhibits, and learning about the native Tongva peoples.

  • *Delicious and affordable snacks and meal choices, including fresh produce, pies, jams, and baked goods.

  • *Live music and entertainment featuring local artists and ensembles.

  • *Hand-crafted items from our talented artisan residents, including paintings, pottery, fine jewelry, woodcrafts, stained glass, quilts, knitted items, and woven items.

  • *Gently used items to celebrate conscious consumption and sustainable living, including furniture, housewares, holiday décor, framed artwork, jewelry, clothing, books, plants, collectible stamps and coins, and unique international treasures.

All proceeds benefit Pilgrim Place’s Resident Health and Support Program, which enables our residents to remain in their homes and to live with dignity, even when the costs of daily living or unexpected medical expenses exceed their resources. Committed to justice, peace, and care of the earth, our residents demonstrate these core values well beyond the borders of the Pilgrim Place community.
