Community Wildfire Preparedness & Safety Evening
Ventura Breeze
May 28, 2026
You know that dry, dusty feeling in the air we’re already starting to get? It’s that time of year again, and according to the *Ventura Breeze*, our local crews are getting ahead of it. The Ventura Land Trust, alongside the Ventura Regional Fire Safe Council and our own Ventura Fire Department, is hosting a Community Wildfire Preparedness & Safety Evening. This isn’t just another lecture—it’s a chance for us to weigh in on the updated Community Wildfire Protection Plan before it’s finalized. If you’ve ever wondered why the hillsides look different after a clearing crew passes through, or wanted to know exactly what “fuel clearance by June 1st” means for your own backyard, this is the place to ask.
What I love about this is that it’s not just top-down advice. They’re actively gathering *our* feedback—from the folks who live in the canyons, the ones who walk the trails, and everyone in between. Living in Ventura means we trade stunning views and coastal breezes for a very real fire season, and events like this remind us we’re all in it together. So grab a coffee, head over, and let’s make sure our community stays as resilient as it is beautiful.

VenturaCoastal Cleanup Day Set for Sept. 19
Mark your calendars, Ventura County — Saturday, Sept. 19 is when we come together for the 42nd annual California Coastal Cleanup Day. From 9 a.m. to noon, volunteers will fan out across our beaches, rivers, and inland waterways to pick up trash and plastic pollution before it harms marine life. It’s a simple act that keeps our coastline — from Ventura Harbor to Rincon Beach — as beautiful as we know it. Whether you’re a seasoned volunteer or a first-timer, there’s a spot for you. Check the Ventura Breeze for site details and registration. Bring gloves and a water bottle, and bring the kids — it’s a great way to teach them stewardship. Our community has always shown up for the ocean, and this year is no different. See you on the sand!
VenturaVentura Harbor Village Seaside Movie Night – 25th Anniversary of Shrek
Grab your picnic blankets and head to the harbor next Friday – Ventura Harbor Village is rolling out the green carpet for the 25th anniversary of Shrek. It’s the kind of night that feels like a warm hug from our community: DJ sets from B 95.1 FM, KHAY 101.7 FM, and KRUZ 103.3 FM, giveaways, and a preshow packed with surprises starting at 6:30 PM. The movie kicks off right after sunset, around 7:15 PM, with the lighthouse glow and ocean breeze as your backdrop. This isn’t just a movie – it’s a chance to relive the swamp-tastic fun with neighbors, kids, and even the dog (if they’re leashed). Whether you’re quoting every line or hearing it for the first time, the sing-along energy makes it special. The Ventura Breeze shared the details, and we’re grateful for their heads-up. So come early, grab a bite from the village eateries, and settle in for an ogre-sized good time under the stars. See you there!
VenturaA View from House Seats – Conejo Players Present Steel Magnolias
Get ready to laugh, cry, and maybe call your best friend on the way home — Conejo Players is bringing the beloved classic 'Steel Magnolias' to the stage, right here in Thousand Oaks. It’s 1987 in Chinquapin, Louisiana, and six Southern women are trading barbs and secrets under the dryers at Truvy’s salon. But beneath the hairspray and one-liners lies a story that hits close to home for anyone who’s ever leaned on a friend through the hard stuff. This is the kind of community theater the 805 does best — intimate, heartfelt, and performed by neighbors who pour their hearts into every scene. The play, written by Robert Harling after his sister’s passing, is a tribute to the women who hold us up. If you haven’t been to the Conejo Players Theatre yet, this is the perfect excuse. Grab a friend, grab a tissue, and support local arts. A big thanks to the Ventura Breeze for spotlighting this gem — see you at the show!
