California Bun Will Give Away Free Stuffed Buns on Thanksgiving Morning for the Third Year Running
After handing out more than 650 free buns last year, the family-owned Moorpark restaurant aims to top that count with its Third Annual “Gobble Up a Free Bun” Thanksgiving event.
Moorpark, CA – California Bun will give one free breakfast bun to every guest on Thanksgiving morning, Thursday, Nov. 26, from 7:30 to 11:30 a.m. It is the restaurant's third annual Thanksgiving giveaway. Last year it served more than 650 free buns, and this year owners Kevin and Aliona Mata hope to reach 750.
Guests can choose from California Bun's breakfast buns: fresh brioche stuffed with fillings like egg, bacon, cheddar and jack cheese, and Mexican chorizo. Families are welcome, and every person gets a bun.
"The turkey isn't the only one getting stuffed on Thanksgiving," said Kevin Mata. “It’s the perfect Thanksgiving breakfast. Start the day stuffed and still save room for dinner.”
"The Last two year's events was such a joyful success that we knew we had to do it again," said Aliona Mata. "Moorpark has supported us since day one, and this is our way of saying thank you."
The coffee bar will be open all morning, with holiday drinks including the Eggnog Latte, Peppermint Mocha and Pumpkin Spice Latte at regular menu prices.
Buns will not be sold on Thanksgiving morning. Guests who want more can pre-order 6- or 12-bun boxes by Tuesday, Nov. 24 for pickup Thanksgiving morning at californiabun.com/free-thanksgiving-buns.

Fred Kavli Theater

The California Young Artists Symphony presents the opening capstone concert of its sixth season with an unforgettable evening of music at the distinguished Kavli Theatre in Thousand Oaks. 
The program revolves around two monumental works: Elgar’s Concerto in b-minor and Prokofiev’s 5th
Symphony. Prokofiev’s 5th Symphony is considered to be one of his greatest and was written when he returned to Moscow during World War 2. Elgar’s Violin Concerto is one of the great masterworks of violin literature, written for legendary violinist Fritz Kreisler. The program opens with Elgar’s beautiful “Sospiri,” or “Sighs.”
The program is led by Maestro Alexander Tseitlin (Director of CYAS and Lyceum Oaks) and features the Grand Prize Winner of the 2026 California Young Artists Competition, violinist Ezra Shcolnik (Juilliard, Colburn). 
CYAS was launched in the fall of 2021 to the acclaim of audiences and artists nationwide. With musicians from institutions such as the Colburn Conservatory, the Thornton School of Music at USC, and the UCLA School of Music (among many others), CYAS forms an electrifying ensemble rich in energy and expression. Concerts are a unique experience for musicians and audiences alike. CYAS Alumni can be found in the London Philharmonic, Detroit Symphony, Naples Philharmonic, and beyond.
Join us for an electrifying presentation of some of the most exquisite music in all of music literature. Tickets on sale at www.cyasymphony.org.
