Special Events

SPECIAL EVENTS

Corona has the fewest annual special events.

Temecula, Rancho Cucamonga, and Moreno Valley host multiple arts, culture & music events and many of the events are co-sponsored by community partners and local businesses.

In years past, Corona off ered more child and family centered activities and events such as a 5K run, Tiny Tots Olympics, Movie nights, etc. These annual events were eliminated due to budget reductions.
