Come out and celebrate with your neighbors and the businesses and organizations that make our neighborhood so great!

This year’s Pocket Parade begins at 10:00 a.m. this year, and follows the usual route from the down Windbridge Drive, starting at the South Land Park Drive intersection, heading south along Windbridge, turning right on Pocket Road and ending at the entrance to Garcia Bend Park.

Windbridge Drive from South Land Park Drive to Pocket Road is closed to ALL traffic
from 9:30 am until the parade has been completed (approximately 12:00 pm) on July 4th, so plan accordingly.

Visit july4thpocketparade.com for more information.

Here’s an interesting event going on just outside of our neighborhood boundaries:

Bring your 0-5 year olds and join children’s musician Jillian Van Ness of Grow Resilient Families for a fun morning of live music-making on the trail! Jillian will reveal some of her new, original songs inspired by the Del Rio Trail in this 30-minute, interactive class.

Bring your shakers/instruments (even a tupperware container filled w/ dried beans, car keys, or two sticks picked up along the trail will work beautifully!)
picnic blanket
snack/lunch, water bottles to enjoy after music
wear sturdy, close-toed shoes as the site is under construction
hats, sunscreen, etc
Admission is FREE but space is limited! Pre-registration and a commitment to attend is required via Eventbrite.

On May 22nd from 8:00am – 2:00pm, SMUD and others are hosting a e-waste recycling event at Cal Expo. Recycling proceeds benefit the Sacramento Regional Conservation Corps.
