The Pleasanton Chamber of Commerce would like to congratulate the Leadership Pleasanton Class of 2024 on its graduation! Upon completion of public safety day last week, the class and fellow Leadership Pleasanton alumni gathered to celebrate at Sunshine Saloon.
The Leadership Pleasanton program was created by the Pleasanton Chamber in 1988 and has produced more than 830 graduates in its 30-plus years. Each class is comprised of individuals from all sectors of our community, from local businesses, professional, government, service organizations, and Pleasanton residents. In September of each year, roughly 30 individuals participate in monthly, day-long sessions on topics of Pleasanton history, government, education, recreation, business, public safety, health, and infrastructure. Participants have the opportunity to go behind the scenes with current leaders in the community to learn what makes Pleasanton work.
Online registration for the Leadership Class of 2025 will open on May 20th.

Concerts will take place every Friday night from June 7 through August 30, featuring an eclectic mix of music from rock, blues and country to 50’s and 60’s oldies, soul, and more. The free concerts run from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and take place at Lions Wayside Park on the corner of First and Neal Streets.
Patrons are encouraged to pick up dinner “to go” from one of Downtown Pleasanton's many restaurants and bring it with them to the park. Be sure to visit the PDA’s social media pages throughout Concert in the Park season for specials and offers from the wide variety of wonderful Downtown restaurants.
While guests are allowed to put out blankets and chairs (at their own risk) in Lions Wayside and Delucchi Parks, they are asked to wait until the morning of the concert to do so.
