Recreation

The Mission Viejo Activities Committee invites the community to join us for food, fun, and fiesta in celebration of Día de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) at the Norman P. Murray Community Center.

It's National One-Hit Wonder Day and you're invited to the North Paseo to hear favorite one-hit wonder songs played by DJ and MC Paul Ramirez. What really sets Paul apart is his ability to read the dancefloor and play the right song for the moment. He loves to see all different types of people and age groups come together with the help of music.

Come grab a sandwich, tea, coffee, yogurt or other refreshing snack from surrounding businesses and relax in the North Paseo's comfy setting while listening to some great music.

Join the fun and get an up-close experience with trucks of all kinds on display. Diverse trucks to view will include an aerial boom truck, crane, ambulance, fire truck, UPS truck and street sweeper truck. Mission Viejo Animal Services will also be onsite with their truck and a couple animals.

Mission Viejo is kicking off Oktoberfest with the free monthly Night Market on Saturday, September 16 from 5-9 pm at the North Paseo.

Recreation members can enjoy live music for all ages at The Deck at Montanoso from 1 to 4 pm on Saturday, September 16.

Tom Bagley follows on September 16 playing a wide variety of classic rock, pop, oldies and more.

Friends and guests can also attend by purchasing a day guest pass. Adult (14 and older) guest passes are $8 and child (3 months to 13 years) guest passes are $4.

If you know someone in need of food or social services, there are several local organizations that provide these services for families in need. 

The City teams up with Second Harvest Food Bank to offer a weekly Senior Grocery program with free groceries for seniors at the Norman P. Murray Community Center. Seniors can select perishable and nonperishable items such as meat, dairy, fresh produce and canned goods. Since the pandemic, there has been an increased need for food support among older adults in the community.
