Livermore continues to commemorate its 150th anniversary of incorporation as a city in 2026, newly announcing a series of events throughout June for the community to celebrate the occasion.
Offering residents and visitors alike chances to immerse themselves in “the city’s past, present and future”, the month of celebrations includes highlights like special recognition of the fire department’s centennial light bulb, festivities around the annual Livermore Rodeo and an anniversary party downtown.
“Livermore’s story has been shaped by generations of people who cared deeply about this city and helped make it what it is today,” Mayor John Marchand said in a press release. “This anniversary gives us a chance to celebrate that legacy, recognize the contributions of our community, and look ahead to the next chapter.”
The sesquicentennial series starts Saturday (June 6), with the 125th anniversary celebration for the centennial bulb at Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department’s Station No. 6 at 4550 East Ave. The event is set for 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Next up is the rodeo next weekend. The Livermore Rodeo Parade rolls into downtown at 10 a.m. next Saturday (June 13), and the 108th Livermore Rodeo takes over the arena at Robertson Park next Saturday and Sunday (June 13-14).
The Livermore Heritage Guild History Mobile will be at the Civic Center Library from 5:30-7:30 p.m. June 17. The Duarte Garage Open House follows from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. June 21 at the Duarte Museum & Lincoln Highway Museum at Portola Avenue and North L Street.
The city’s 150th Anniversary Celebration showcase event is set for 5-8 p.m. June 26 in Livermorium Plaza downtown.
