Centennial celebration events, including a giant community party/picnic, will take place throughout 2017. A giant Centennial picnic is set for Wednesday, January 18 from 3-5 p.m., one day after the City of El Segundo’s incorporation date of January 17, 1917. Held in Library Park, the community event will offer cake, games and crafts put on by Recreation and Parks. A Pop-Up Centennial display of local history will also be on site. Centennial activities can be tracked at http://www. elsegundocentennial.org. Cocktails, dinner, and dancing will mark the Centennial Ball being put on by the El Segundo Chamber of Commerce and held at the Automobile Driving Museum in El Segundo. Tickets are on sale now for $100 per person, or a table for 12 can be reserved for $1,200. Seats are limited.

On Friday, December 2, the Downtown El Segundo Holiday Open House will take place from 5-8 p.m. for only the second time. The brainchild of Kevin McCormick of Banner Stationers and Brenda Newman of The Jewelry Source, the evening gives community members a chance to stroll downtown streets and enjoy the holiday spirit with local businesses. More than 30 downtown businesses are participating, according to Marsha Hansen, CEO/President of the Chamber. Many will offer refreshments, gifts and raffle prizes, and a number of restaurants will have special festive dining options. Carolers will also be strolling city streets and for the first time, centennial logo merchandise, such as shirts and mugs, will be available at the Chamber. “The Holiday Open House is a chance for downtown businesses to open their doors to the community and greet them with holiday spirit,” said Hansen, who noted that McCormick and Newman joined forces after realizing they could create a fun evening for many via a community event. El Segundo residents and community members can also share the holiday spirit via the Spark of Love Toy Drive. Givers are asked to bring a new unwrapped toy for a child, including teenagers, to El Segundo Fire Station 1, 314 Main Street, and drop it in the bin by December 24. All toys will be distributed to children in communities local to El Segundo, according to sponsors. More than 70 entries are expected to participate in the The 53rd Annual El Segundo Holiday Parade on Sunday, December 11. Held from 1-3 p.m. and staged by the Chamber, the parade, which features marching bands, musical groups, floats, antique cars, and a visit from Ol’ Saint Nick, begins on Main Street at Imperial Highway and continues all the way to El Segundo Boulevard. El Segundo Citizen of the Year Al Keahi will be this year’s grand marshal. Parade participants are known for tossing candy to the crowds lining the sidewalks.
