Altadena Future Fair is a two-day event created to help residents impacted by the Altadena/Eaton Canyon fire navigate the journey toward rebuilding and recovery. This vital gathering will feature a diverse lineup of speakers, including community leaders, government planning officials, architects, and builders, who will share valuable insights on the future of Altadena and the rebuilding process.
Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in engaging panels centered on innovative rebuilding strategies, resilient construction methods, land restoration, and leveraging collective purchasing power. In addition, community support rooms and a childcare drop-off area, featuring art therapy and games, will be available to support neighborhood parents.
The Future Fair Tradeshow will host a variety of vendors and builders showcasing materials offering unique opportunity for business owners connect and communicate directly with homeowners.
