Downtown Pleasanton is gearing up for the latest First Weekend on Main, which includes an extra day for the Monday holiday and the return of the food-and-beverage pairing showcase Forkful on Saturday.
Forkful attendees will have a free run of Main Street, which will be closed to vehicular traffic as part of the monthly program promoted by the Pleasanton Downtown Association.
“We are so excited to bring Forkful back to downtown Pleasanton as part of this weekend’s First Weekend on Main,” PDA Interim Executive Director Laura Brooks told the Weekly. “Forkful is a chance for 15 of our amazing restaurants to show off their culinary delights by treating our guests to the perfect ‘forkful’ of food.”
Forkful takes place from 2-5 p.m. on Saturday (Sept. 3). Tickets remain available online, or at the starting location, Museum on Main, on the day of the event; participants must be 21 years old or older.
The First Weekend on Main begins at 4 p.m. Friday and continues until 9 p.m. Monday (Sept. 5), an additional day due to Labor Day. The downtown street closures will extend from the Main Street bridge to south of Bernal Avenue.
“This month’s First Weekend on Main is a supersized event thanks to the fact that it falls on a holiday weekend. So please make plans to come stroll Main Street, shop, dine and enjoy our wonderful downtown,” Brooks said. “Plus be sure to stop by the Museum on Main Street on Saturday between 10 a.m. to noon for free, family friendly crafts including leather stamping, candle making, creating corn husk dolls, designing paper bonnets, cowboy hats, and bandanas, coloring and so much more.”
“These weekends are about bringing community together, shared experiences and celebrating our wonderful city. We can’t wait to see you downtown,” she added.
