The land where native Chumash once danced through the night in the moonlit Topatopa mountains, paying homage to the gods who provided so many gifts, continues in the spirit of dance, song and storytelling.  Each year there are many celebrations in Ojai beyond the usual 4th of July street extravaganza and well-known tennis tournament next to Libbey Bowl.
