TAFT, Kern County — October 25, 2026. Taft’s official October 2026 city calendar lists a Trunk-or-Treat event for Monday, October 26, at 5:30 p.m. Residents should open the city’s homepage or follow the calendar event for any updates about the exact location, participants or schedule. The calendar listing does not, by itself, establish parking instructions or guarantee individual activities.

City Council meetings: how to follow city decisions

Beyond the community event, Taft’s official City Council meeting archive provides agendas, packets, minutes and videos when available. It lists regular City Council meetings for October 6 and October 20, 2026, as well as a July 7 cancellation notice. Meeting materials can help residents understand proposals; a published agenda is not proof that an item was approved or that a proposed expenditure occurred.

Taft’s City Council page currently lists meetings scheduled for Tuesday, November 3, and Tuesday, November 17, at 6 p.m. The city’s municipal FAQ describes a normal first-and-third-Tuesday schedule at Taft City Hall Council Chamber, 209 E. Kern Street. Residents planning to speak should check the final meeting-specific notice for timing, public-comment procedures and any relocation or cancellation.

Where to find more local information

Taft provides separate navigation for Planning Commission records, Public Works, city jobs, Taft Area Transit and public records requests. These are useful starting points for neighborhood road problems, permit questions and proposals affecting local services. The City Clerk’s office can help residents find the appropriate official meeting record or municipal department.

For general questions, the city lists (661) 763-1222 at 209 E. Kern Street, Taft, CA 93268. If the matter concerns an imminent event, verify directly before travelling. Taft News will continue tracking local events and decisions, clearly separating scheduled activities from confirmed outcomes.
