Pleasanton's Last 1st Wednesday Street Party Will Honor Law Enforcement, Firefighters

From Pleasanton Downtown Association:

For the first time, Pleasanton Downtown will celebrate and thank our hardworking police and fire departments during our final First Wednesday Street Party event of the 2016 season on Sept. 7 from 6-9 p.m. Highlighted by public safety appreciation activities, the street party will also feature live music, kids zone, food trucks, 200 vendors, Beer & Wine Garden and much more.

PDA Executive Director Laura Olson stated, “As a community, we are incredibly fortunate that these men and women serve us tirelessly, and we want to take this opportunity to say thank you! Pleasanton would not be the beautiful, safe city we love so dear without their dedication and diligence. I strongly encourage you to come down and join in this celebration of service.”

We will honor, support and celebrate our first-responders with a salute to our dedicated local firefighters and police officers. Join us on Division and Main St. for special, public safety activities. Kids will receive custom balloons and hats and take part in our photo booth station, where they can collectively create a “Thank You” album to give to our local fire and police departments.
