When Bing Crosby croons about dreaming of a Christmas “just like the ones I used to know,” it reminds us of all of Toluca Lake’s beloved seasonal traditions, which add up to decades of treasured memories.

As we celebrate our eighth annual History Issue, we also mark another year of Toluca Lake Magazine, a perfect moment to reflect with gratitude on our journey through time.

Through all life’s ups and downs, a tempo of togetherness defines our neighborhood’s signature style. The spirited pace will no doubt continue as the weather heats up and our thoughts increasingly turn to fun and entertainment.

Community events are happening around the clock in Toluca Lake, and the spirit of togetherness is more important than ever in the aftermath of January’s devastating wildfires.

It’s that time of year again, when our neighborhood’s gift for creativity and connection surges to its highest levels with a series of seasonal celebrations.

As summer starts off, Toluca Lake shows no signs of slowing down in its 101st year. Our community has been bustling with a variety of new events, initiatives and beloved traditions.
