The Epilepsy Foundation Los Angeles team, along with our board of directors, want to share an exciting announcement with our community: the date of the next Epilepsy Walk Los Angeles has been confirmed for Saturday, March 14, 2026, at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.
As many of you know, our original Walk date in March 2025 was postponed due to the LA-area fires. Since then, we’ve been actively working to secure a new date and location. We had hoped to bring everyone together this fall, but with so many other events also shifting due to the fires, venues and dates were extremely limited. It became clear that the best way to ensure a meaningful and successful experience for our community was to move forward with March 2026.
We know how much this event means to so many: for connection, for visibility, and for the shared energy of walking together in solidarity in the fight to end epilepsy. While it is hard to wait, we are already working to make the 2026 Walk our most impactful one yet. In the meantime, please join others by registering to attend the Walk at epilepsywalkla.org and kick off your efforts now.
While we won’t be gathering for the Epilepsy Walk until then, please know that the Epilepsy Foundation Los Angeles remains your partner in your epilepsy journey. From summer camps and support groups to education, training, and specialist referrals, we are committed to supporting and connecting with those impacted by epilepsy. We encourage you to reach out for assistance or to get involved in any of our programs.
To learn more and seek assistance, please reach us at epilepsylosangeles.org, 310-670-2870 or help@epilepsylosangeles.org.
We can’t wait to see you in 2026.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why was the Epilepsy Walk Los Angeles postponed?
The decision to postpone the event was made out of care, respect, and support for our greater Los Angeles community following the devastating January 2025 fires. Many members of our epilepsy community have been impacted, and we want to prioritize their recovery and well-being.
Why not reschedule the Walk for Fall 2025?
We hoped to reschedule for Fall 2025, but with many events also postponed due to the fires, it became extremely difficult to secure a venue. The calendar was packed, and there wasn’t an available date that worked for our community, team captains, medical leaders, or sponsors.
