| | | By Jennifer Wake | | |
Thanks to an allocation of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds from the town of Moraga, the Moraga Chamber of Commerce will once again host the Moraga Community Faire and Car Show, which showcases live music and performances, a gorgeous car show, a robust Kid's Zone with games, battle bots, sporting contests, animal interactions, pony rides and more. The family-friendly event will be held rain or shine from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, April 29 at the Rheem Shopping Center (580 Moraga Rd.).
"Stroll our talented Artist's Alley while noshing on food truck fare and Loard's Ice Cream or while enjoying a local wine, cider or beer from Canyon Club, Mt. Diablo Cider or area vineyards," Moraga Chamber Executive Director Katie Bidstrup said. "There are so many interesting and interactive booths to see and enjoy this year, from bee keeping and gardening to spinning a wheel of fortune. You can even bring clothing to the Faire and Sustainable Contra Costa will repair it."
Community members can tour the car show or enter their own vintage ride (deadline April 24) to compete for prizes. "You can even learn about the University of Oregon Ducks, acupuncture, dog training or sign your trees up for fruit rescue and have all that yummy goodness go out to the needy in our communities," Bidstrup said. Multiple live Bands will perform on stage with a variety of music and a DJ, and a magician will also be there for the community's enjoyment.
"In past years, this event has attracted up to 2,500 people for an amazing time," said Chamber board member and former mayor Mike McCluer. "Let's enjoy this wonderful event, our beautiful town and community!" |
