Lafayette Community Day Returns For Its 3rd Year Saturday

LAFAYETTE, CA — Neighbors will gather Saturday for the third annual Lafayette Community Day, helping beautify the city while getting outdoors and making some new friends. Under the extended deadline, volunteers have until the end of Thursday to sign up and pick a project to lend their skills.

Organizers said this year's plan features more family-friendly projects, allowing more opportunities for youngsters to help out.

Attendees should plan to arrive by 8 a.m. to enjoy some free breakfast while learning about their project, and free parking will be available along Golden Gate Parkway. The first 100 arrivals will get a free commemorative t-shirt, and organizers ask volunteers who are able to bring some nonperishable food and gently used clothing to donate.

Volunteer groups will work on their chosen projects through the downtown area between 9:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. Games, activities and live music will begin in the plaza at 11 a.m., and attendees will be treated to lunch from All The Smoke BBQ starting at 11:30 a.m.

The fun will continue through the early afternoon, including the raising of the Pride flag to kick off Pride month.
