CANCELLATION NOTICE

The Fort MacArthur Museum regretfully has to announce that the 2023 Great Los Angles Air Raid Of 1942 must be canceled. This is beyond the control of the Museum, Museum Association, Staff and Volunteers who tried every possibility to bring you an Air Raid like no other in the past.

During some pre show cleanup of the property, a Great Horned Owl's nest was discovered in one of the trees by the Forestry Division of the Department of Recreation & Parks. Forestry Division was required to notify the City's Environmentalist who came out and identified the nest belonging to one of the Great Horned Owls who live on the museum grounds.

The Museum was notified that a 300-foot area around the tree could not be used as part of the show because of the owl's nest. For those who may not know, Great Horned Owls are protected in the state of California. Due to this restriction, most of the Museum grounds could not be used like in years past, and there were also noise restrictions put in place that would highly impact the show.

Everyone who made a pre-sale ticket purchase will receive a full refund. Please be patient with us while we do so. Again, this is the last thing any of us want to do, especially with just a week and a half away from the show. We weighed options of moving the event elsewhere on the property, but came to the conclusion that we could not provide you all a proper Air Raid experience.

We are currently redirecting our efforts on a summer show featuring a 1945 "end of the war" themed dance. Please stay tuned for more information on that event
