Curechella is more than just an event—it’s a day where music, community, and purpose come together in the heart of Downtown Torrance. Hosted by Relay For Life, this special gathering honors those who have faced cancer, supports those still fighting, and remembers those we’ve lost.
On May 9, 2026, the streets of Sartori and El Prado will come alive with energy, connection, and compassion. The day begins with a Survivor Brunch, celebrating strength and resilience, followed by an Opening Ceremony that brings the community together in unity and hope. Throughout the day, you’ll find live entertainment, local vendors, fundraising teams, and community partners all working toward a shared mission—advancing the fight against cancer.
From the joyful spirit of the Puppy Parade to the moving Luminaria Ceremony in the evening, Curechella carries both lightness and meaning. It’s a space to celebrate life, support one another, and be reminded that no one faces cancer alone.
Whether you come to walk, to listen, to remember, or simply to be part of something bigger, Curechella welcomes you. Every moment shared and every effort made helps bring us closer to a world without cancer.

Step into the Hellmouth.

This June, HellmouthCon 2026 takes over the real-life Sunnydale High School filming location in Torrance for a full weekend of fandom, nostalgia, and supernatural energy.

This isn’t just another convention—it’s a full-blown Buffyverse experience. Walk the same halls where legends were made, then dive into panels, cosplay, photo ops, live events, and fan experiences that bring Buffy and Angel to life.

Expect guest appearances, autograph sessions, themed trivia, karaoke nights, and a vendor-filled “Sunnydale Mall” packed with art, collectibles, and one-of-a-kind finds. Whether you’re showing up as a Slayer, a vampire, or just here for the chaos, this is your chance to connect with fans from all over the world in a setting that feels straight out of the show.

And if you’ve ever thought about making your fandom permanent—this is your moment. Black Raven Tattoo will be offering exclusive discounts on Buffy-themed tattoos for HellmouthCon attendees, so you can walk away with something a little more permanent than a photo op.

They’ll also be donating a $100 gift certificate to the convention, giving one lucky winner the chance to turn their favorite fandom into ink.

Powered by fans, for fans—and giving back through charity—HellmouthCon is where community, creativity, and a little bit of magic collide.

So grab your crew, sharpen your stakes, and get ready for a weekend where fandom meets legend.

Welcome to the Hellmouth.

They thought it was just another weekend. They were wrong.
This summer, we’re turning the clock back to a different era—the kind that lived in late-night horror, worn-out VHS tapes, and designs that hit you the second you saw them and never really left.
Slash Back Weekend is coming.
We’re putting together a completely new set of flash inspired by the 80s and 90s—horror, pop culture, and  made that time feel a little more magical, a little more familiar, and like you belonged in it and a lot more fun. There will be bigger pieces in the mix, not just the quick stuff, and it’s all built around that same energy people still chase from back then.
