With summer just around the corner, it's time to start preparing for all the exciting outdoor activities this season offers. American Canyon is a great place to enjoy the warm weather, and there are plenty of opportunities for recreation and relaxation. We are excited to bring back a full schedule of fun recreational activities. Our team is busy preparing the previous Napa Junction school site (300 Napa Junction Road) for the collection of camps to keep the youth in our community plenty busy all summer. If you haven't had a chance to check out the expansive selection, visit CityofAmCan.org/Recreation to learn about the half and full-day options for youth grades K through 8, ranging from online coding, Lego-inspired, STEM, weekly themed arts and crafts, and much more.
Our Recreation Team will host an energizer station to greet Bike to Work & School Day participants on Thursday, May 18. You'll find them on the corner of Wetlands Edge Road and Eucalyptus Drive. Check here for other stations throughout the region. Check the flyer below for all the details about the Bike Bash Event on Saturday, May 20.
The American Canyon community will come together on Memorial Day, Monday, May 29, 2023, at 11 AM, at the Veterans Memorial Park (2801 Broadway) to remember and honor those who have paid the ultimate price for our freedom. During the ceremony, attendees can honor their loved ones by placing a flag in their memory during the bell ringing. This event is a collaboration of the American Canyon Troop Support, the American Canyon Lions Club, the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1123, and many other invaluable community members.
Each year, American Canyon hosts a Citywide Yard Sale the weekend following Memorial Day - visit AmCanCityWideYardSale.com to participate in this popular event. The American Canyon Chamber of Commerce's Meet Me in the Street series begins on June 14. The Annual Pride Event, celebrating the LGBTQ+ community, is happening on June 17. We'll celebrate Freedom for African Americans the next day, June 18, at the Annual Juneteenth Event. Then, you will want to attend the ever-famous American Canyon Fourth of July festivities! Find out more about these events, and more, on the Community Calendar.
Take care,
Jason B. Holley
