Trade Show for Fire Survivors This Weekend

Event aims to help families displaced by Eaton Fire explore rebuilding options

Fire survivors in Altadena will have access to rebuilding resources at a community trade show this weekend.

The Altadena Rebuild Trade Show will take place Sunday, Aug. 3, at Loma Alta Park Gymnasium. The free event runs from noon to 4 p.m.

Multiple community organizations are hosting the trade show for families displaced by the Eaton Fire. Attendees can examine building materials, architectural displays and design concepts.

The event differs from typical information fairs. Visitors will be able to touch and see physical rebuilding solutions rather than just read about them.

Day One is organizing the trade show. The group aims to provide hope and confidence to residents facing post-disaster recovery challenges.

The event will showcase affordable rebuilding options and fire hardening techniques. Long-term recovery support and expert guidance will also be available.

Eight local organizations are partnering for the event: the Altadena Rotary Club, Altadena Town Council and Altadena Builds Back Foundation.

Other partners are Department of Angels, Rebuild Altadena, Altadena Collective, Altagether and United Policyholders.

Organizers say the trade show reflects community resilience. The goal is to help residents rebuild and return home.
