Simi Scoop – June 12 – June 15 | Fathers, Flags, and Friday the 13th
Your guide to live music, local events, and where to be this weekend in Simi.
Where Simi Valley Locals stay in the know. No fluff.
Good morning, Simi Valley!
It’s Father’s Day weekend and Friday the 13th... but don’t worry, the only thing scary is how stacked the weekend lineup is.
We’ve got dads being celebrated with classic cars and bluesy tunes, kids going wild at Aquapalooza, masked wrestlers body-slamming boredom at Town Center, and Disney magic coming to life on canvas.
Let’s jump in — or should we say cannonball?
👔Main Scoops: Dad’s Day the Simi Way
Sponsored
Looking for a Father’s Day plan that isn’t just brunch and a tie? We’ve got you. One of Simi’s best-kept secrets, Nectar of the Dogs Wine, is hosting a laid-back, wine-soaked celebration that hits all the right notes — literally.
Dad’s Day Afternoon kicks off Sunday, June 15 from 1–6 PM and brings together classic cars, live blues, artisan pizza, and great local wine — all in one cool corner of west Simi.
🎸 Live Music Lineup
• Milo Sledge | 1–3 PM
• Delta by the Beach | 3–6 PM
🚘 Classic Car Showcase
🍕 Fresh pies from River’s House Pizza
🍷 Award-winning wines
This event is 21+ and a two drink minimum. Well-behaved dogs are welcome.
It’s not every day you find live blues, wood-fired pizza, great local wine, and your dad smiling ear to ear among a lineup of classic cars — but that’s exactly the kind of magic this hidden gem is pouring all afternoon.
🍴 The Weekly Crave
Craving something cold, bold, and handcrafted right here in Simi? Makenna Koffee is a local favorite for good reason. They’re keeping Simi caffeinated with creative espresso drinks, chill smoothies, and flavorful refreshers — all served with quick service and hometown charm.
Forget the chain stuff. This is premium coffee made with heart, for people on the go. We have a few locations here in Simi, ORDER ONLINE from the location nearest you!
💦 Main Scoops: Aquapalooza on Saturday!
📍 Rancho Simi Community Pool
🕐Saturday, June 14 | 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM
Looking for a way to keep the kids cool, active, and grinning from ear to ear? Aquapalooza is making waves this Saturday at Rancho Simi Pool — and it’s one summer event you don’t want to miss.
This free, family-friendly splash fest is packed with water fun: giant slides, diving boards (1M and 3M), inner tubes, beach balls, water wheels, aqua obstacle courses, and even a round of water basketball. It’s the ultimate pool party — no backyard cleanup required.
Need fuel for all that fun? Mister Softee will be scooping up cold treats, and food vendors will be on-site to cover lunch. Bring your sunscreen, towel, and a little patience — this popular event tends to fill up fast.
Beat the heat. Burn off the energy. Make a summer memory. 🏖️
