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.

Rock Around the Block

The Torrance Historical Society and our sponsors will host this 1950s-style family summer event in celebration of Torrance's All-America City Award -- one of America's original and most prestigious community recognition awards. The City received this award for "Growth without strain" back in the 1956 when Albert Isen was Mayor of Torrance. This free event is open to the public and will be held in front of the Museum (1345 Post Avenue). Post Avenue will be blocked off from Cravens to Sartori, so guests can:
Bop to 50s music by a live DJ
See special exhibits featuring the original congratulatory telegram from President Eisenhower, along with the All-America City button & logo
See memorabilia from the Louis Zamperini Trust Collection
Check-out the Torrance high school yearbooks -- the Torrance Historical Society has the largest collection
Enter the hula hoop, bubble gum blowin' , Torrance Bakery Cake walk and pie eating contests - there are prizes!
Play retro games like paint a pet rock.
See vintage, classic, and late-model vehicles.
This FREE 1950s-style family event is sponsored by TBA, and hosted in partnership with the City of Torrance, Old Torrance Neighborhood Association.
