Third Annual Temecula History Day will feature Live Entertainment, Fun Activities, Gem Mining & More

As part of its ongoing commitment to preserving and celebrating the history of the Valley, the City of Temecula proudly presents the third annual Temecula History Day on SAT, OCT 11, 2025, from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm at Sam Hicks Monument Park (41970 Moreno Road) in Old Town Temecula.

Hosted just outside the Temecula Valley Museum (28314 Mercedes Street), Temecula History Day invites the community to explore the City's past through a variety of educational and engaging experiences. The museum will be open to guests throughout the event, offering an in-depth look at the people, places, and events that have shaped the Temecula Valley.

This year's celebration will feature live entertainment from a four-piece band performing a mix of folk, western, and Spanish folk music. Attendees can take part in roping lessons, line dancing instruction, and percussion activities designed to involve the audience in the rhythm and energy of the day. A special educational talk will also delve into western arts and culture as we honor traditions and embrace opportunities for strengthening our community's connectedness and civic pride.

Adding to the festivities, the Old Town Mining Co. will provide a mobile gemstone mining experience, while Kona Ice will offer refreshing shaved ice. Both activities are free for the first 200 guests, providing fun and flavor for early arrivals. There will also be information booths and a variety of games, allowing attendees to embrace Temecula's rich history.

This family-friendly event is free and open to the public. For information on all upcoming Temecula Community Services Department events, activities, and programs, please visit TemeculaCA.gov/TCSD and follow @TemeculaParksandRec on social media for updates.
