Old Fort MacArthur Days 2012
July 7-8 from 10am - 4pm

Welcome to the home page of the west's largest continually running re-enactment and living history timeline event! For more than twenty years now the Fort MacArthur Museum has sponsored what has turned into the west's largest multicultural celebration of world military history. What began as a small gathering of cannon enthusiasts has blossomed into a truly spectacular event showcasing the history of military activity from around the world and across time.

The hours of this years show are 10am–4pm both days. Tickets cost $10.00 per person and benefit the restoration, preservation, and education programs of the Fort MacArthur Museum. Tickets can be purchased at the front gate to the museum beginning at 10:00am on both days and as always parking is free. Food and drinks will also be available at an additional charge.

Special Notice About Parking

Due to the construction of the South Region High School #15 project by the Los Angeles Unified School District, we will be losing about 25% of our free parking area for the next two years.

We are doing everything in our power to find a solution to this problem. In the meantime, we encourage all our guests to carpool in order to reduce the number of vehicles parking within the park area. Please check the parking information page for the latest information.
