A Celebration of Community and Homecoming

The Eaton Fire changed Altadena forever, including the loss of our school's historic Mariposa Street campus. But it did not diminish the spirit of this remarkable community. Bringing Elves’ Faire back to our McComb Campus on Mendocino Street campus is more than the return of a holiday tradition. It's a celebration of resilience, connection, and the joy of coming together again in the place we call home.

Admission is FREE, and everyone is welcome!

Bring your family, invite your friends and neighbors, and join us as we celebrate the return of a little Altadena magic. We can't wait to see you!
