Downtown Banner Poles

TOPANGA TOWN COUNCIL'S DOWNTOWN BANNER POLE PROGRAM

The banner program is intended to provide pride in the community, add color and excitement to Topanga’s streetscape, promote community activities, special events, and other cultural or sporting activities, as well as promote programs important to the town’s image, economic interest and organizations serving the community.  Special rental pricing is given to local Topanga non-profit organizations.

Only a nonprofit organization may request permission to place banners for the purpose of promoting the organization or a special event that is held in or around Topanga, CA and be open to the public, or have a common interest to the general community, or recognize and/or contribute to the cultural fabric of the Town.

Banners may not advertise or promote commercial products or services, or religious, political or social viewpoints; however, sponsorship names are allowed on the banners, but are subject to restrictions and design. There must be a direct connection between the banner design and the event.

There are four (4) banner poles located on non-County property, street-side at 141 South Topanga Canyon Blvd at the General Creek Shopping Center, Topanga, CA.  Banners are 3’x8’ vertical format.  A permit is not required for use.

Funds collected from banner pole rentals go toward programs and projects benefiting Topanga. Click here to see a list of current Topanga Town Council programs & projects.

Volunteer

MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN YOUR COMMUNITY – BECOME A TOWN COUNCIL VOLUNTEER!

Friends of the Council

The Friends of the Topanga Town Council (volunteers) was created so individuals of all ages could contribute to Topanga Canyon, but not to invest a vast amount of time doing so. This organization is designed so people can contribute individually—as much or as little as they want; but collectively to make a tremendous impact on our community.

Friends of the Council are people inside and outside of the canyon—homeowners, renters, business owners, parents, retirees, hipsters, artists, students and friends—who are working together to create and maintain a vibrant community. They are people who bring fresh perspectives, new resources and continued enthusiasm into Topanga—making it a vital and thriving community.

Being a volunteer can be an occasional or routine commitment—whatever you please. You pick the project or position that brings out your talent or desire of service. Being a Friend is a very flexible position that has few demands of time and no (or limited) meetings.

So, come on and get involved! Keep your finger on the pulse of what's going on in our canyon by volunteering. It’s a great way to network, get the latest and greatest in the canyon, and meet new friends. The Town Council is grateful for any amount of time you wish to give. We look forward to meeting YOU!

Become a Board Member

Or, if you want to make a larger contriburion, volunteer by becoming a Board Member. There are special requirements for Board Member participation.

The Topanga Town Council is a 501(c)(4) non-profit, non-governmental, all volunteer organization.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES!

These programs can be done individually or as a team of volunteers. Pick any area that interests you. Most require a COUPLE OF HOURS a year. Others, a COUPLE OF DAYS a year. A few require a day or two a month. Some projects you can do out of your home! Most of these positions require less than 6 days a year of your time. Call or email us for more information.

WE WANT TO EXTEND A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO OUR CURRENT FRIENDS OF THE COUNCIL:

Without our volunteers who put in endless hours, the many programs of the Topanga Town Council would not be possible.
