In-Person 'State Of The City' Announced In Murrieta

MURRIETA, CA — The City of Murrieta will hold a 30th Anniversary State of the City on Tuesday, June 29, and the public is invited to the free in-person event.

Mayor Scott Vinton will deliver the 7 p.m. address at the new Town Square Park Amphitheater.

Looking back at 30 years of cityhood, the State of the City will address both challenges and triumphs. Vinton will discuss business and development updates, how the city continued to maintain operations with minimal service disruption during the pandemic, and what’s in store for the future, city officials said.

Vinton shared his enthusiasm about going live with Murrieta residents.

“After more than a year of connecting by video, I embrace the opportunity to stand on the stage of our new amphitheater and share our accomplishments and vision with the people of Murrieta," he said. "State of the City is a highlight for me as mayor, and we will do our best to engage, inform — and maybe even entertain the audience.”

Students from the Norris Performing Arts Academy will open the event with a short musical performance.

Before the State of the City, the Murrieta/Wildomar Chamber of Commerce will host a reception at the Murrieta Public Library Garden of Verses from 5:30-6:30 p.m. A $25 ticket is required for the VIP reception; tickets can be purchased at www.bit.ly/MSOTC21.

“We are always glad to partner with the City of Murrieta and continue to be humbled by the support our community shows for each other at every turn, which is especially noticeable in a year like we have had,” said Murrieta/Wildomar Chamber of Commerce President/CEO Patrick Ellis. “I encourage community members to come hear Mayor Vinton’s address to witness how the city has so successfully weathered the storm at one of the first in-person events we have been able to do in the past year!”

On June 15, the state is slated to lift most COVID-19 restrictions.
