Tomorrow’s schedule

Car cruise: 9:45 am
Parade: 10:00 am – noon
Festival: 11:00 am – 2:00 pm

The parade begins near Lincoln High School and travels along Dana Avenue, Naglee Avenue, and The Alameda. The festival takes place at Shasta Avenue and The Alameda. Head out early to setup your chairs to get the best view.

Way to go, Cory Neighbors. We had cars around the block and completely filled 3 dumpsters before noon! Again, a huge thanks to our Councilmember Michael Mulcahy for arranging this and being here to help facilitate.

If you were not able to drop off all your trash, you can always arrange a free junk pickup via 311.

See you all at the general meeting on Monday!
