Hello,
Please join us next Tuesday (Aug. 6) for National Night Out! American Canyon Police, Fire and City officials (and special team members Lobo, Marshal and Soro) will be out connecting with the community. View the NNO webpage to view all public parties.
Quick reminder: school starts on Wednesday, Aug. 14. Let’s work together to make sure our kids get to school safely — in the spirit of our We ❤ Safe Streets mantra, we want to remind you to remain extra vigilant on the road as our kiddos go back to school. If you haven’t yet, please take the We ❤ Safe Streets Pledge today!
Even though summer is almost over, there are still plenty of festivities in our community! Make your way to Phillip West Aquatic Center on Aug. 3 for our Annual Water Carnival, featuring an eventful day of swimming, activities and treats. We also still have Spirit Horse Sundays every Sunday through Aug. 25, courtesy of SpiritHorse Riding Center. These fun evenings on the farm include a petting zoo, vendors, live music and horse/pony rides.
Looking for an out-of-this-world experience? There’s also still time to register for S’mores and Meteors on Aug. 10. Get ready to dance the night away under a canopy of stars at our electrifying silent disco! Dive into the wonders of the universe with thrilling astronomy activities and indulge in our delicious s’mores.
And the American Canyon Chamber of Commerce is hosting the final Meet Me in the Street on Wednesday, Aug. 14, from 5 to 8 p.m. Food trucks, live music and local vendors — where else would you want to be? Read below for a volunteer opportunity to help make this event a success.
Lastly — special shout out to our Public Works team for their diligent work on Benton Way. We appreciate your patience as we improve our local streets.
