Bona-fide Torrance-based, non-profit groups may submit events to be included in the Torrance citywide calendar pending approval. The City of Torrance Citywide Calendar System Administrator (Communications Division) is responsible for determining which events are appropriate for posting and then approving a calendar entry. The administrator also has the capability to submit the event to other calendars so that your event may be posted on more than one calendar if appropriate. Events must occur within Torrance city limits to be considered for inclusion and submitted within the categories already identified within the calendar. Find out How To Submit.

From Chuckwagons to Food Trucks: The History of Food on Wheels in America

Adult Program

Providing food was a challenge on the trails from the East to California, and the chuckwagon was invented as a horse-drawn food truck. The next generation of mobile kitchens roamed the streets of Los Angeles and San Francisco, competing with a small army of vendors with pushcarts and other street foods. They filled a need and provided a living for new immigrants to popularize their cuisines, and some great fortunes were made in the process. Please join culinary historian Richard Foss to learn about the innovations that changed our society and continue today. Email SBuehler@TorranceCA.Gov for Zoom link.
