America 250: Agricultural Roots & the American Dream
By City of Brentwood
This Fourth of July, celebrate more than America’s birthday. Celebrate the story of Brentwood.
Join us for America 250: Agricultural Roots & the American Dream, a one-of-a-kind community celebration that explores how our local history connects to the nation’s 250-year journey.
The day begins with the Children’s Parade and Brentwood Classic Parade at 9:30 AM, traveling from First & Birch through Historic Downtown to the Brentwood Community Center. Then, from 11:30 AM-3:00 PM, the celebration comes to life throughout City Park, the Community Center, Historic Downtown, and the Veterans Memorial Hall.
Along the way, you’ll experience Brentwood’s past, present, and future through interactive exhibits, local organizations, entertainment, and family activities.
Discover Brentwood’s agricultural heritage with Harvest Time’s 50th Anniversary activation, visit Spinola Farm to purchase exclusive U-Pick Capital shirts, and learn about the people and places that shaped our community with the East Contra Costa Historical Society and the John Marsh Historic Trust.
Enjoy live music by The Ragdolls, a lineup of local favorites from The Foodie Crew, family activities including a mini train ride, arts and crafts, face painting, balloon art, and lawn games, plus the Veterans Memorial Hall Car Show, free hot dogs, live music, and a Historical Flag Scavenger Hunt.
While you’re here, stroll through Historic Downtown and vote for your favorite storefront in the Downtown Brentwood Coalition’s America 250 Business Decorating Contest.
Every stop tells a different chapter of Brentwood’s story.
See the City’s Facebook page for everything happening on July 4, then make plans to celebrate America’s 250th birthday right here in Brentwood.
