Temecula Now

Imagine making a difference in the fight against Alzheimer’s while enjoying a fun-filled family day out. That’s exactly what the upcoming Walk to End Alzheimer’s event offers our Temecula Valley community. This special gathering isn’t just another charity walk—it represents hope and solidarity for millions affected by Alzheimer’s disease across the country.

On Sunday, September 21, 2025, the Promenade Temecula will transform into a center of activity for this meaningful cause. The event has the distinction of being the World’s Largest Event dedicated to Alzheimer’s care, support, and research. Mark your calendars for this important day: check-in and registration begin at 8 a.m., followed by an inspiring opening ceremony at 9 a.m., with the walk itself kicking off at 9:30 a.m. Whether you’re walking to support a loved one affected by Alzheimer’s or simply want to contribute to a worthy cause, your participation makes a genuine difference.

What makes this event particularly special is its timing on World Alzheimer’s Day, creating a powerful global statement about our community’s commitment to fighting this devastating disease. The Walk to End Alzheimer’s isn’t just about raising funds—it’s about raising awareness and showing support for families in our community who are navigating the challenges of Alzheimer’s every day. The Promenade Temecula provides a convenient location, making it accessible for participants from throughout the Temecula Valley to join in this important cause.

The organizers have thoughtfully planned every detail of this event to ensure participants of all ages can take part in this important cause while creating lasting memories. From the moment you arrive at the registration area to the final steps of the walk itself, you’ll be part of a community united in purpose. Whether you’re walking as an individual, with family members, or as part of a team from your workplace or organization, your presence adds to the collective voice saying we won’t rest until we find a cure.

This year’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s promises to be more enjoyable than ever with its festive carnival theme designed to entertain participants of all ages. Children will be thrilled by the variety of activities available before and after the walk. Face painting stations will transform little ones into tigers, butterflies, or superheroes, while a professional stilt walker will amaze crowds with impressive height and entertaining antics. These thoughtful touches create an atmosphere of joy that complements the serious purpose behind the event.

The family-friendly refreshments add another layer of fun to the day’s activities. Nothing says “carnival” quite like the sweet treats that will be available to participants. Cool down with refreshing snow cones in a rainbow of flavors, perfect for what might be a warm September morning. Enjoy fluffy cotton candy that brings back childhood memories while creating new ones with your family. These carnival-themed elements transform a charity walk into a celebration of community and hope—showing that coming together for an important cause can also be a thoroughly enjoyable experience for everyone involved. By participating, you’re not just supporting Alzheimer’s research; you’re helping create a world where future generations may never know the heartbreak this disease causes.
