CELEBRATE DUARTE’S 66TH ANNIVERSARY WITH A 
CITY PICNIC!

In celebration of Duarte’s 66th anniversary, the Duarte community is invited to the 
City Picnic on Saturday, September 23 from 11 AM to 3 PM at Encanto Park (751 En-
canto Parkway). The Duarte Parks and Recreation Department will host a fun afternoon 
filled with live music, delicious food, a beer garden, free rides and games, inflatable 
attractions, boutique vendor booths, a car show, and more!

“The City Picnic is one of my favorite events of the year, bringing people from across 
our community together to celebrate the place we call home,” said Duarte Mayor Jody 
Schulz. “In its 66th year, the city is more excited than ever to provide residents with 
a fun-packed celebration including unbeatable entertainment, activities, and fun for 
the whole family. I am grateful to serve our Duarte community who has made our city 
worth celebrating.”

The picnic includes a variety of performances throughout the park. Live music fea-turing 
local artists such as Family Style Band and DJ Phil will cover favorite hits from the 
70s to the 2000s. Event-goers can also dance along to live performances by folklorico 
dancers and our very own Duarte Dance team! 

Get ready to browse a variety of food options from local restaurants, food trucks and 
boutique vendors. Attendees can cool off with a refreshing beverage in the beer garden 
hosted by Morralito’s Mexican Grill and Cantina.

There will be an abundance of fun adventures in the Family Fun Zone. Children of all 
ages are welcome to enjoy a fun-filled day of bounce houses, bubbles, caricatures, balloon 
artists, and interactive games. Kids, prepare to be drenched at the Splash Zone! Be 
sure to bring swimsuits, towels, and water shoes to partake in all of the water activities.

Cruise by this year’s bigger-than-ever Route 66 Classic Car Show featuring over 80 classic 
cars. From lowriders and hot rods to cars currently being built, residents are welcome

the best car from each of the following categories: 30s and older, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and 
80s. Interested in showcasing your classic car? Submit an applica-tion along with a $35

ST. LUKE’S MONROVIA BLESSES PETS OF 
ALL DENOMINATIONS SUNDAY, OCT. 1

Stuffed animal donations sought for children treated for 

exposure to violence

 

Monrovia, CA, September 14, 2023 — On Sunday, October 1, St. Luke’s Episcopal Church 
in Monrovia will once again celebrate one of its most beloved traditions: the Blessing of 
the Ani-mals in honor of the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi. The church invites all pets 
(and their human companions) to the 10 a.m. service to sit, sing, (chirp, purr or howl), 
worship, and share in God’s blessings.

 

Attendees are also invited to bring a new stuffed animal to donate to the Martin Luther 
King Jr. Pediatric Hub, an LA County center that provides medical and mental health 
care to children ex-posed to domestic and sexual violence. St. Luke’s parishioner Dr. 
Janet Arnold-Clark is the hub’s Director.
