Poway Parade Puts Community Volunteerism at Center Stage Sept. 12 Behind the marching bands and floats at this year's Poway Rotary Parade is a larger community story: who are the people doing the volunteer work that keeps local organizations functioning? “Spirit of Volunteers” is the theme of the 61st annual Poway Rotary Parade, beginning at 9 a.m. Saturday, September 12. Organizers chose the theme to recognize the unusually large number of nonprofit, service and community organizations whose members volunteer their time in Poway and surrounding communities. Grand Marshal John Couvrette, co-chair of the Poway Community Foundation and a longtime community volunteer, is incorporating that message into the parade itself. Working with EDCO, Couvrette is creating a 30-foot flatbed float dedicated to local nonprofit organizations, with volunteers invited to participate together. More than 75 parade entries are expected, representing schools, service clubs, community organizations, businesses and other groups. Among them are the Rotary Club of Poway-Scripps, Poway Unified School District, Poway Chamber of Commerce, Villa de Vida, Poway Library, Soroptimists International of Poway, Poway Adult School, Poway 4-H and the Poway Lions Club. The parade also includes marching bands, dancers, equestrians, vintage tractors and other traditional parade entries. WHEN: Saturday, September 12 at 9 a.m. WHERE: Poway Road, Pomerado Road east to Bowron Road THEME: “Spirit of Volunteers” The event could provide an opportunity not only to cover a 61-year community tradition but to talk with the people who continue to sustain local nonprofit organizations through volunteer service.

October is Italian Heritage month, and the festival celebrates the tradition of street painting which began in 16th century Italy with traveling artists, many of whom had been brought into the cities to work on the cathedrals. When the work was done, they would often recreate the paintings of “Madonna” on the pavement; they became known as Madonnari. Street painting thrives today in festivals throughout the world. Street painters prefer this temporary performance art form that is created live before the eyes on the asphalt. For more information on Bella Vita Fest, please visit www.bellavitafest.com.

"The Tiny Exhibition" is a unique, one-day public art event at Liberty Station Arts Districts' First Fridays on June 5, 2026. This event presents a powerful collaboration between contemporary artist Lisa Bryson, Tiny Home Central, Piccola Tiny Homes and the non-profit The Warrior Village Project. Featuring a collection of meticulously crafted oil paintings, many are of a jewel-like size, on display inside a Piccola Tiny Home as art gallery organized by Tiny Home Central. A portion of the proceeds will benefit The Warrior Village Projects’ tiny home build program. The exhibition explores themes of scale, luxury, and sustainability, challenging the notion that size dictates value—in both art and living spaces. This event creates a poignant link between the site's legacy of military service and the project's contemporary mission, offering a compelling cultural experience while directly supporting a vital community cause. 10% of all art sales will benefit The Warrior Village Project's mission to house homeless veterans.
