Good morning, Fullerton Hills. It's Friday, July 24. The last full weekend of July is here with a packed slate across Raymond Hills, Sunny Hills, and Golden Hills. The Saturday Farmers' Market is back at 301 N. Kris Blvd, the Fullerton Night Market continues Thursday evenings in Downtown Plaza, and open house activity remains strong as we head into the final stretch of summer. Whether you're planning an early-morning trail walk before touring homes or catching dinner downtown, here's everything you need to know heading into this weekend.
1. This Weekend's Must-Attend Events
Fullerton Free Certified Farmers' Market
The Saturday Farmers' Market runs every week from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM with fresh produce, local honey, artisan bread, and prepared foods. An easy Saturday morning stop for Sunny Hills and Raymond Hills residents. Grab your weekly produce and a coffee before heading out to open houses. The market runs year-round, and late July brings peak-season stone fruits, heirloom tomatoes, and sweet corn.
Fullerton Night Market — Thursday Edition
The Fullerton Night Market runs every Thursday evening through September with artisan crafts, gourmet food trucks, live music, and a beer garden in the Downtown Plaza. One of the best weekly community gatherings in North Fullerton. This week's edition features a special summer music lineup with local bands performing through the evening.
Fullerton Museum Center — Family Art Workshop
The Fullerton Museum Center hosts a family-friendly art workshop Saturday afternoon. A great indoor activity for families with young children, especially if the afternoon temperatures climb. The museum's current exhibits are also open for browsing.

Data sourced from CRMLS and regional public records as of July 2026.
Custom hillside estates with panoramic city-light views in Raymond Hills remain the marquee draw for buyers seeking architectural character and elevation. In Sunny Hills, school-boundary-driven demand around Sunny Hills High, Beechwood, and Laguna Road Elementary continues to define family buyer interest. Golden Hills attracts buyers who prioritize outdoor living, equestrian trails, and mid-century character. As we close out July, we're seeing motivated sellers who are pricing realistically, and well-priced homes are still receiving multiple offers within the first two weeks.

3. Community News & Civic Updates
Key developments this week that affect North Fullerton residents:
Sunny Hills Street Rehabilitation — Nearing Completion
The $2.63 million street rehabilitation project in Sunny Hills, Twilight, and East Las Palmas is nearing completion. R.J. Noble Company has finished the majority of comprehensive street resurfacing. Expect final paving and striping work over the next few weeks. If you're touring homes in Sunny Hills, the worst of the construction delays are behind us.
City's 50% Bonus Gift Card Program Continues
The City of Fullerton's popular 50% bonus gift card program continues through the summer. Double your spending at participating local businesses while supporting the downtown economy. A great way to enjoy dinner out this weekend while getting extra value.
Back-to-School Registration Underway
The Fullerton School District and Fullerton Joint Union High School District have opened back-to-school registration for the 2026-2027 academic year. Parents in Raymond Hills, Sunny Hills, and Golden Hills should check their school's website for registration deadlines, supply lists, and orientation dates. Sunny Hills High School registration is open now.
4. Trail & Outdoor Update
Planning a Saturday morning walk or ride? The Fullerton Loop (11.2-mile unpaved trail) and the Hilscher Park Trail are both in excellent condition for late July. Expect golden summer grass on the upper ridgelines, with morning temperatures in the upper 70s and light coastal breezes. The signalized pedestrian and equestrian crossing at Hilscher Trail and Euclid Street is fully operational, providing safer access for hikers, trail runners, and equestrians.
Pro tip: Start before 7:00 AM to beat the midday heat. The Fullerton Loop parking lots at the Gilbert and Bastanchury trailhead tend to fill by 8:30 AM on summer weekends. Bring water, wear sunscreen, and carry your phone. The late July sun is strong by 10:00 AM.
5. Dining Spotlight
The Olde Ship is a Fullerton institution and one of the most authentic British pubs in Southern California. With a massive selection of imported beers, ciders, and traditional pub fare including fish and chips, bangers and mash, and Sunday roast, it's a favorite gathering spot for locals. The pub features a cozy indoor fireplace room and a lively outdoor patio. Weekend brunch is served Saturday and Sunday starting at 10:00 AM. 4.4 stars, 1,800+ Google reviews.
Curator's Weekend Note
"Late July in Fullerton Hills has a bittersweet feel. The days are long, the hills are golden, and the community calendar is still full. But there's a shift in the air. Back-to-school signs are appearing in store windows, and families are starting to think about the fall schedule. If you've been considering a move before the new school year begins, this is the weekend to get serious. The market is still active, mortgage rates are holding steady, and well-priced homes are finding buyers. If you're on the fence about listing or buying, give me a call. I'm here for straight answers and no-pressure advice. Enjoy the last full weekend of July, everyone."
