Pali High Booster Club to Host Fire Defense Fair, Flea Market

By LILY TINOCO | Assistant Editor

The Palisades Charter High School Booster Club will host a Fire Defense Fair & Pali High Flea Market at Paul Revere Charter Middle School on Saturday, May 17, from 2 to 6 p.m.

The event marks the club’s efforts to raise funds for rebuilding and restoring the community after the Palisades fire. It is the club’s second flea market, following its inaugural one in October 2024 at the Pali High campus.

The spring market is slated to bring together over 60 vendors and 15 fire defense companies—creating a “fun, purposeful day for the entire family.” The fair will feature a kids’ zone with inflatables and treats, as well as curated goods and resources on fire protection and home resilience.

“Join us for a special Fire Defense Fair & Pali High Flea Market as we come together to support local businesses, families and students affected by the recent fire,” read information about the event. “This is more than just a market—there will be essential resources, safety demonstrations and a chance to connect with your neighbors. Plus, enjoy a variety of unique finds while supporting a great cause while you shop at over 50 booths of curated or vintage goods.”

Sign-ups to operate a booth are now open. Interested vendors can reserve a 10’ by 10’ spot, and are asked to bring their own canopy, table and chairs. Spots can be reserved $50 for Pali High families or $100 for non-Pali High families.

“This is an open call to everyone—reserve your spot today,” according to an event flyer. “Whether you’re raising money for a team, club or personal venture, all profits are yours to keep. It’s an easy and effective way to support your cause while joining a vibrant community event. Let’s rebuild, reconnect and make this an event to remember.”

Booth ideas include hair braiding, face painting, crafts and handmade goods, used sports gear sales, raffles, and more. Local student entrepreneurs are also encouraged to participate, with the opportunity to showcase their creativity and leadership while fundraising.

The Fire Defense section is expected to be “an important resource” for homeowners looking to rebuild or protect their standing homes. Experts from fire-prevention companies will be available to offer advice and solutions.

“We’re recreating the energy and togetherness of our beloved Palisades Village—bringing back the sense of community we all cherish, one booth at a time,” a Booster Club representative said in a statement. “This free, open-to-the-public event is already creating buzz … Look out for our colorful yard signs and banners around town.”

The Pali High School Booster Club is a nonprofit organization with a mission to raise funds “to support and enhance the learning environment” for all students at Pali High through the support of academics, art, athletics, drama, music and technology.
