4th of July Options for East County Residents

by ECT

We wanted to wish everyone out there a safe and fun Fourth of July today as 236 years ago the Continental Congress approved the Declaration of Independence. For one day, I hope we can put aside the left vs. right politics and just celebrate why we live in the greatest county in the world!  Here are a couple of activities in East County while I’ve also included a list of all activities in Contra Costa County.

Streets of Brentwood (11:00 am to 4:00 pm

The Parade  at 11am with fun for all with this festival.  This is a kid friendly event with  two activities which include a Bungee Run for older kids and a Fire Truck Slide while you can you can hear a Summerset Big Band in the Plaza throughout the celebration.
