Monterey Park Mayor Meetup October 28 at Luminarias; Community Altar Open Through November 2

MONTEREY PARK, Los Angeles County — October 25, 2026. Monterey Park’s municipal calendar includes a Meetup with the Mayor on Wednesday, October 28, from 5 to 6 p.m., at Luminarias Restaurant, 3500 West Ramona Boulevard. The official event notice invites residents to take part in casual conversation about the city and emphasizes support for local businesses.

What to expect

The city describes the gathering as an opportunity to ask questions, share ideas and meet local leadership. It does not guarantee that a particular proposal will be discussed, that food will be provided free of charge or that the Mayor can resolve an individual’s service problem on the spot. Residents should verify any current arrangements with the municipal office at (626) 307-1385.

Community altar honors loved ones

The city’s October calendar also lists a community Día de los Muertos altar at the Langley Center on display from October 15 through November 2. Families are invited to contribute a photograph or memory. The city provides (626) 307-1395 for Langley Center inquiries. Residents should confirm drop-off procedures and display hours rather than assuming the center remains open around the clock.

Other civic dates

A Planning Commission meeting is listed October 27 at 6:30 p.m., and an Environmental Commission meeting October 28 at 6:30 p.m. The same calendar lists the regular Thursday evening farmers market at Barnes Park for October 29, 4–9 p.m., subject to cancellation. Indeed, the city separately marked an October 22 farmers market and mayor-pro-tem meetup canceled because of weather, showing why residents should check the latest specific notice.

The citywide meetings calendar provides future dates, while actual agendas and approved minutes are needed for confirmed decision reporting. Monterey Park News will use primary-source municipal records and correct local venues.
