First Weekends on Main
The Pleasanton Downtown Association’s monthly First Weekends on Main program returns this Friday through Sunday and includes the closure of Main Street to vehicular traffic for the weekend.
“Every first weekend of the month, come downtown and enjoy street closures for roaming our historical downtown, events and outdoor dining,” PDA officials said.
The downtown street closures will extend from the Main Street bridge to south of Bernal Avenue every first weekend of the month, starting Friday at 4 p.m. and ending Sunday (Aug. 7) at 9 p.m.
