LAFD Station 109 Pancake Breakfast

Fire Station 109 is opening its doors for its first annual pancake breakfast, and the whole thing runs on a short Sunday morning clock. If you are scanning for LA events this weekend that involve a plate of food and a real fire engine, this one fits. Proceeds benefit the local station, so the breakfast doubles as a way to support the crew that covers the Mulholland corridor.

When: Sunday, November 8, 2026, 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM Where: LAFD Fire Station 109, 16500 Mulholland Drive, Los Angeles Cost: $10 for the breakfast, per the event flyer Tickets: Free registration on Eventbrite

What's on the menu

The flyer promises pancakes, eggs, bacon, coffee and donuts for the $10 price. It is a classic firehouse fundraiser spread: simple, filling and served by the people who work there. The event page lists registration at no charge, and the flyer notes that donations are appreciated, with a QR code for giving. Bring a few extra dollars if you want to add to the station's fund.

Beyond the pancakes

Food is only part of the morning. The flyer lists a firefighter meet and greet, a station tour and an apparatus display, so kids (and adults) can get close to the trucks and ask the crew how the gear works. There are free kids activities and face painting, plus photo ops and a silent auction for anyone who wants to bid on something while they eat.

Sponsors named on the flyer include the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation, Traci Park and Nithya Raman of the City Council.

Getting there

The station sits on Mulholland Drive in the hills above the Sepulveda Pass, so budget a little extra drive time on a weekend. The organizer has not posted set times beyond the 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM window, and no parking details were given on the event page. Check the Eventbrite listing before you go for any update, and expect a busy street for a first-year event. Arriving earlier in the window gives you the best shot at a calm walk through the station.
