Bona-fide Torrance-based, non-profit groups may submit events to be included in the Torrance citywide calendar pending approval. The City of Torrance Citywide Calendar System Administrator (Office of Cable and Community Relations) is responsible for determining which events are appropriate for posting and then approving a calendar entry. The administrator also has the capability to submit the event to other calendars so that your event may be posted on more than one calendar if appropriate. Events must occur within Torrance city limits to be considered for inclusion and submitted within the categories already identified within the calendar. Find out How To Submit.

Camping in America: It's 19th Century Beginning

  • Date: 08/05/2022 10:00 AM  

In April 1869, the Reverend William H.H. Murray published his most famous book:  Adventures in the Wilderness. It was the first book to tell Americans that camping was a form of recreation, where one could escape the worst aspects of modern life to find refreshment and renewal. 

Please join Professor Terence Young for an illustrated talk about the Reverend Murray, his book, and several disputes spawned by this flood of new campers. Professor Young is the author of Heading Out:  A History of American Camping.
