Check out local events

We are so lucky to have a walkable neighborhood, with an amazing park that has been a backdrop for so many amazing events. As our community grows and changes we are working to add new and fun events that interest our small but vibrant community.

If you have an idea for an event, contact us or tell us about it at one of our upcoming community meetings!

Join garden club

The KCA is lucky to have a garden plot next to our community building! KCA members can take advantage of this fun community perk, get their hands dirty, and get to know their neighbors! Everything we grow is shared amongst the club and the larger community when we have extras.

There are a variety of opportunities and event types for all of our community members to get involved in! Our volunteers make the events we do possible and our community stronger. Volunteering opportunities will be posted and shared as events are planned.

 FAQs

  • Any individual (adult 18+ or emancipated) who resides, owns, or uses property as a personal residence or business within the boundary of Kittredge and has paid annual dues, is declared a Voting Member of the KCA. The boundary of Kittredge is defined by the US Census Bureau (i.e. Kittredge is a census-designated place (CDP)), and the CDP boundary corresponds to the boundary shown in Google Maps.

    The KCA also allows and welcomes “contributing members” who do not meet the definition of a voting member, but would like to participate in KCA activities. Contributing members are unable to vote and cannot hold board positions.

  • The KCA is the only nonprofit organization in Kittredge and it is dedicated to creating a strong sense of community to enhance the quality of life in Kittredge. We do this by hosting fun community events in the summer, life music, yoga, and movies in Kittredge Park, and by organizing around important community issues like clean ups, wildfire mitigation, and pedestrian safety efforts. As a volunteer-led organization, the KCA is a great place to get to know your neighbors and the issues facing the community.

  • We currently have three membership tiers which are all available for one-time purchase or annual renewal:

    Individual: $15
