Stop by, ask questions, and maybe even meet some of our adoptable furry friends!

Ojai Day was first celebrated in 1917 after glass magnate Edward Libbey offered to finance the construction of the downtown Arcade, present day Libbey Park and the post office with its 65-foot bell tower. Ojai's most prominent citizens decided to host a city wide celebration to show their appreciation to Libbey. While the early event faded away after several years, It was revived in 1991 by local teacher and historian Craig Walker.
