From Easter Magic to Beers and Beats

April is here and we’re excited to kick things off with one of our most joyful traditions. First, we want to thank everyone who joined us in celebrating the grand openings of Crescenta Cañada Cat Clinic (below) and Montrose Adult Day Health Care! It’s always special to come together in support of our local businesses.

This weekend, we’ll be out in the community delivering Easter magic through our annual Easter Bunny Yard Drop event, proudly supported by the YMCA of the Foothills. Thank you to everyone who placed orders and to those who generously donated eggs to help us create baskets for the Glendale Police Dept. to deliver to deserving children in our community! We always look forward to making magic in the community we serve!

Right after Easter, we’re hosting the 11th Annual Montrose Craft Beer Fest, proudly supported by Environmental 911, on Sunday, April 12 from 12 p.m. – 4 p.m. on the 2200 block of Honolulu Avenue. This is truly a festival in your own backyard bringing together local businesses, delicious local food vendors and the incredible breweries that make Southern California so special. Grab tickets online at bit.ly/CBF2026 (case-sensitive) and join us for an afternoon of beer and beats you won’t want to miss!

We’re also wrapping up applications for our 2026 MVCC Scholastic Scholarship Program, open to high school seniors from Crescenta Valley and Clark Magnet. If you know a student who may be eligible, we encourage you to have them apply at bit.ly/MVCC2026SCHOLARSHIP (case-sensitive) and take advantage of this opportunity.

And looking to May, our largest mixer of the year is right around the corner on May 5 at Jenkins Properties. With taco catering, a live band, drinks, exciting opportunity drawing prizes and the chance to celebrate this year’s scholarship recipients, it’s always an unforgettable evening of networking and community.

There’s so much happening this season and we hope to see you out and about in Montrose!
