A few highlights of scenes and the skills of artists who have visited past Carnivals.
2026 is our 11th Classic Carnival
Here come the Boomers!
By Shirley Harriman
– Sorensen Park – During LLA’s Carnival Days 2019 music in the park will take center stage. Mark Jojola and the Boomers, a local widely-liked and followed band, will perform classic rock on Saturday, March 16 between 4:00pm and 8:00pm.
Are your dancing shoes ready? When this band plays, people cannot sit still. They have to dance! The boomers will set up on the softball field.
At PAD Friday night June 18, 2016, Mark Jojola and the Boomers were in full-on action playing everyone’s favorites. Well, boom again! The park lights suddenly went out. It was so dark! To the rescue! LASD Park Deputies provided auxiliary lighting with their cruiser spots and Shazam! the show went on! What a fun night then and what a fun night it will be again on Saturday at LLA’s Carnival Days.
Carlos Día live performance at Carnival
By Shirley Harriman
Lake Los Angeles – Sorensen Park – Lake Los Angeles’ own beloved recording artist Carlos Día will be performing Sunday, March 17 at LLA’s Carnival Days. He will treat us to 2 half-hour sets at 5:30pm and 6:30pm.
When you hear the phrase ‘suddenly burst onto the music scene’, it usually means that artist has worked for many years honing his skills and working tirelessly toward achieving his or her dreams. What is an overnight sensation? Someone who has worked for many years honing his skills and working tirelessly toward achieving his or her dreams. Case in point, Carlos Día, a resident of Lake Los Angeles for the past 15 years.
Carlos performs in Spanish and English much to the delight of all audiences. He transcends all language obstacles with his diversity. His sensational amazing music in any language will get you up on your feet. LLA is in for a musical sweet treat.
