Message from the City Manager

June 2026

As summer arrives, June brings exciting opportunities for our community to come together and celebrate all that makes Murrieta special. From community events and recreation programs to important City projects and initiatives, there is plenty happening throughout the month.

We're especially looking forward to the City's biggest event of the year, the Murrieta Birthday Bash! This year marks an important milestone, 35 years of cityhood! We are proud of this tradition that brings thousands of residents together for a day of family fun, entertainment, food, and fireworks as we celebrate another year of community pride and progress.

I encourage you to explore this month's More Murrieta to learn about upcoming events, City news, and ways to stay connected. We look forward to seeing you around town and celebrating with you this June!

...and if you haven't already, make sure you follow us on social media for the most up-to-date information. Facebook | Instagram

City of Murrieta Legislative Updates

Advocating for the Interests of Residents and Businesses

The California State Legislature and U.S. Congress often propose laws that directly impact local communities like Murrieta. That’s why the City stays engaged in government affairs—to represent the interests of our residents and businesses.

When it’s appropriate, Murrieta takes formal positions on certain bills to make sure they reflect the values and priorities of our community. You can view the City’s Legislative Platform, along with letters of support or opposition, on our website. We update this page regularly, so check back often to stay up to date on how the City is advocating for the policies that matter most to you!
