Fourth of July Fireworks
The July 4 celebration typically includes community activities throughout the day at the Moraga Commons Park, starting with a pancake breakfast, followed by many bouncy houses for the kids, bike and dog parades, community booths, and a live concert. About 9 p.m. people from all over the Lamorinda area and beyond gather to watch a spectacular fireworks display.
Golf Tournament
This popular event, held annually at the Moraga Country Club in August or September, begins with a shotgun start and includes lunch, several course challenges, refreshments, dinner and, of course, great prizes. Non-golfers are invited to the dinner.
Concerts in the Park
Every Thursday during the summer, from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m., Moraga Park Foundation hosts a summer concert series at the Moraga Commons. Folks come with family, friends, snacks, blanket or lawn chairs to the grassy hillside in front of the bandshell to enjoy a relaxing, fun-filled evening. Food is available for purchase from on-site food trucks and vendors. Picnics are welcome though.
