Knowing about local festivals and events in your neighborhood can make a difference in your quality of life.

Rowland Heights is a small community, but it does have local events. Here's some information that can help you make the most of your weekends.

The Kizuna Japanese Spring Festival is a local cultural event held at Shabaram Park.

Although it is hosted by the Japanese community, it has become an event that includes the entire Asian community. There are traditional Japanese performances, food booths, and cultural experiences, attracting many families. It is also one of the local events that Korean residents of Rowland Heights participate in. The event date changes every year, so it's important to check the official announcements.

Regular events are also held at the Hashi Rai Temple. Special programs are organized during Buddhist holidays or temple anniversaries, including a vegetarian food festival and cultural events. These open events allow non-believers to enjoy cultural experiences as well. You can check the schedule on the official Hashi Rai Temple website.

Events at the LA County level also impact this area. Shabaram Park is part of the LA County park system, hosting county-sponsored outdoor events, educational programs, and sports leagues. Many people reserve picnic areas through the park reservation system for family, work, or church gatherings. Korean churches and organizations often hold barbecue parties and outdoor meetings in this park.

If you're looking for larger events, you can head to nearby areas. The Pomona Fairplex hosts the LA County Fair every year, which is about a 20-minute drive from Rowland Heights. It runs for over three weeks in early September and features food, performances, rides, and exhibits.
