After weeks of isolation and distancing, Hayward residents plan to take to the streets this summer as the annual Thursday night street party series is ready to celebrate its 21st season.
The family-friendly free event showcases local bands and street performers, and rides and face painting for children. There will also be a car show featuring more than 100 hot rods and classic automobiles.
There are several stages at the street parties – there were up to five at one point last year. Each stage features a different musical act or other sort of entertainment.
Food trucks will be on hand with a wide assortment of menu items, and there is also a beer garden near one of the stages.
The Hayward Chamber of Commerce, the City of Hayward, and the Downtown Hayward Business Improvement Association partner with local business sponsors to create the annual event.
The Chamber says it is still accepting applications from vendors. Vendors at street parties such as this one can take advantage of printing services for banner printing, and brochure printing for customers.
The Downtown Hayward Thursday Street Party is scheduled to take place Thursday, June 18, from 5:30 pm to 8:00 pm. on B Street in Downtown Hayward. The other two summer street parties are scheduled for Thursday July 16, and Thursday August 20, but it is advisable to check local listings to confirm.
