July 4th Celebration at Piedmont

This is going to be our first year attending the July 4th celebration in Piedmont. Apparently it starts early with a pancake breakfast at Veterans' Memorial Building from 8:00-11:30am. Then followed by the Piedmont's Fun-Filled Parade down Highland Avenue. Following that, there will be a concert in Piedmont's Main Park!

Farmer's Market

There are 5 Farmers market location in Oakland that Piedmont residents can easily get to within 5 minutes of driving. The following are ones close to Piedmont.

Grand Lake (Grand avenue & Lakepark Way) on Saturday from 9-2
Jack London Square (Broadway & Embarcadero) on Sunday from 10-2
Montclair Village (La Salle Avenue & Moraga Avenue) on Sunday from 9-1
Old Oakland (9th St between Broadway & Clay) on Friday from 8-2

Buy fresh, buy local!!! Grand Lake is the biggest with about 90 vendors. We have bought some tomato plants, rosemary shrub, and blueberry shrubs here. It is a great way to spend a Saturday morning. They have jumpy house for the kids, live music for the adults and a few tables where you can sit to relax and enjoy the summer sun.
