🍓 Berry Picking Bonanza

It’s cherry season, and San Leandro is turning the dial to max on fun! Catch the high-voltage parade as dancers, floats, and marching bands flood downtown streets, then dive into a bustling fest loaded with over 150 artisan booths, a fresh-cherry market bursting with juicy delights, live tunes that make you move, and a legendary pie-eating face-off. This festival is the perfect burst of community spirit to ignite your June.

Gather the kids and fill your basket at these top U-pick farms in Alameda, Solano, and Contra Costa Counties—cherry season is here!

🌷 What’s Happening This Week in the East Bay

Paint your Saturday with live tunes, interactive art demos, and sips of the finest regional wines. Wander artisan stalls, snack on gourmet bites, and upgrade to Wine Garden access for VIP tastings. From R&B grooves to mixed-media magic, this festival kicks June into high gear!

Step into Afrofuturist wonder at East Oakland Futures Fest! Imagine live DJs spinning cosmic beats, electrifying performances, interactive tech demos, and vendor zones brimming with local flavor. Kids can explore creative zones while parents connect with community resources. It’s a future-forward celebration that ignites inspiration.

🍽️ Local Flavor

Humbowl serves whole foods with a balance of grains, veggies, lean protein, and flavorful sauces. Their made-to-order dishes are ready in about six minutes, except during rush hours. The counter-service setup offers wholesome meals almost as fast as traditional fast food. If only they had a drive-thru!

Like homemade food but better. Good choice for a flavorful quality meal. Love that their portions are satiating and ingredients are high quality.
