Updates: Franklin Fire Forces Event Cancellations and Delays

By The Malibu Times · Tue Dec 10 2024

As the Franklin Fire continues to spread, several community events have been canceled, and key meetings have been postponed. The PCH Master Plan Feasibility Study meeting, initially set for Wednesday, has been delayed, with a new date to be announced soon.

Among the affected events are:

• Navy League Malibu Community Celebration: The festive event, which was set to kick off the holiday season, has been canceled. It was originally scheduled to support the U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots drive, with the final toy pickup planned for the evening.
• Santa Paws: This popular event, where pet owners dress up their furry friends and take photos with Santa, has also been canceled. Donations for a local animal shelter were encouraged.
• Poetry Workshop with Malibu Poet Laureate Nathan Hassall: The free workshop, in collaboration with several community organizations, has been canceled.
• The Children’s Lifesaving Foundation has announced a new location for this weekend’s CLF Project Angel Wings Holiday Event. The event will now take place at the Michelle & Barack Obama Center for Inquiry & Exploration at Olympic High School on Saturday, Dec. 14.
• Malibu Pacific Palisades Chamber of Commerce: Due to the Franklin Fire, the Holiday Connections Breakfast and Board Inauguration Ceremony has been postponed. They will reschedule the event after the new year and notify you as soon as possible.

The community is urged to stay informed for updates on rescheduled events and meetings. We will continue to update this page as more information becomes available.
