The Our Lady of Lourdes School campus was transformed into a vibrant hub of joy and community spirit during its annual Family Fun Days carnival, held Sept. 5–7. With over 5,500 attendees across three days, the event was a resounding success, offering thrilling rides, classic carnival games, live music, and an array of food and drinks by the Our Lady of Lourdes ministries.

Family Fun Days brings together families, neighbors and local businesses in celebration of community. This year’s event was made possible due to the generous support of sponsors including Catholic Daughters of the Americas, Montrose-Verdugo City Chamber of Commerce, Crescenta Valley Insurance, Joselito’s Mexican Restaurant – Tujunga, YMCA of the Foothills, Studio Spectrum, Alfred’s Pizza, PrintEfex, TrewAudio, ACME, Russell’s Moving and Storage, Sunbelt, CV Weekly newspaper, Christiansen’s, Illumination & Dynamics, and The Knights of Columbus.

Chairs Amanda and John Buckowski led the dedicated planning committee with passion and purpose. 

“Amanda and I have served as the committee’s chairs for a few years now and it’s always gratifying to see the joy on kids’ faces during and after the event,” said John. “We commit ourselves to this carnival year after year for our own kids, including our son who is still an OLL student, but truly for the community.”

Family Fun Days continues to be a cherished tradition in the Sunland-Tujunga neighborhood, fostering connection and celebration. To learn more about Our Lady of Lourdes School and upcoming community events, visit ollschooltujunga.org or follow @olltujunga on Instagram.
