Summer is here, and the East Bay is pulling out all the stops. From wine-soaked bingo nights and country line dancing to comic cons and classic car shows, June 2026 is stacked with reasons to get out and explore. Here's your full roundup of what's happening this month.
Get ready for bingo like you've never experienced it before. McGrail Vineyards & Winery is cranking up the music and pouring award-winning wines for a loud, lively, and a little wild game night from 6–8 PM. Whether you're a bingo veteran or just showing up for the laughs, this one's a good time. Tickets cover your bingo card, and wines are available by the glass or bottle. Must be 21+.
The Pleasanton RAGE are turning their home matches into full community experiences this season. Themed match nights at 6 PM blend high-level women's soccer with fan engagement, entertainment, and a whole lot of summer evening energy. Best part? Admission is completely free. Come cheer on your local team and soak up the atmosphere.
Dust off your boots and grab your crew — Downtown Livermore is going full western with Denim & Diamonds, running 5–9 PM along 1st Street. Think: exclusive in-store specials, western-chic fashion, craft cocktails, local makers, and serious rodeo-week energy. There's a curated Diamond Alley Bazaar pop-up with handcrafted leather goods, rustic décor, rodeo-ready apparel, and more. Dinner reservations at participating restaurants are available in two seatings (5:30–7 PM and 7:30–9 PM) for a $10 per person donation to Livermore Downtown Inc. Walk-ins are also welcome to enjoy the evening without a ticket.
Head to Lions Wayside Park from 7–8:30 PM for a free outdoor concert featuring Other People's Money (OPM), voted one of the Best Bands in the East Bay by Diablo Magazine readers two years running. OPM delivers a full-blown rock concert experience — two encores, 120+ minutes of energy, and a setlist spanning Billy Idol, Tom Petty, Lynyrd Skynyrd, U2, Stevie Wonder, and more. Don't miss it.
Livermore Valley Arts is expanding its creative celebration to include the culinary arts with this inaugural lunchtime fundraiser, noon–3 PM at the Bankhead Theater. Six Tri-Valley chefs will each present a signature small plate inspired by a bold color, alongside three pastry chefs and three bars. Your ticket covers ample small plates, sweet treats, and one drink ticket. Live music by Jeff Bordes performs outdoors on the Shea Homes Stage in the Bankhead Plaza. Hotel packages are available through Hawthorn Suites. A feast for all the senses.
The Discovery Shop is bringing its mission out into the community with a pop-up event at Valley Plaza in Pleasanton from 10 AM–6 PM. Shop gently used clothing and goods, enjoy live music and sidewalk activities, and support both sustainability and the American Cancer Society all at once. A great reason to shop with purpose.
OPA! The Pleasanton Senior Center hosts the third annual Taste of Greece Festival, noon–8 PM both days. Load up on authentic Greek food, drinks, and desserts while enjoying live music and dancing. It's a full cultural celebration — come be Greek for the day.
Main Street transforms into one giant community picnic table for this free Longest Table event in Downtown Pleasanton, 6:30–8 PM. Tables and chairs are provided — you bring your food, drinks, friends, and good vibes. Come as a group, a pair, or solo (you'll be seated with others). Reservations are required for everyone in your party, including kids. Bring your own reusable plates, utensils, and napkins.
Classic cars take over Downtown Pleasanton from 10 AM–4 PM for Hot Rod Row. If you love vintage iron and a great downtown atmosphere, this is your Saturday morning plans sorted.
As part of the Tri-Valley Twist weekend, The Wave in Dublin is offering buy-one-get-one admission (max two per family) from 11 AM–6 PM. Splash around, catch some rays, and make the most of summer's unofficial kickoff. Energy meets water — ride the vibes all day long.
The brand-new Country Fest on Main makes its debut on Sunday, June 7, transforming Main Street into a full country playground from 11 AM–3 PM. Expect five live band stages featuring country artists all day, a BBQ smoker cook-off, beer gardens, line dancing, a petting zoo, and local vendors. Free admission, family-friendly, and pure boots-and-backyard energy in the heart of Downtown Pleasanton.
Pair perfectly with Country Fest — Bubbles and Boots kicks off at 11 AM in Downtown Pleasanton with a country-themed cocktail tasting experience through the district, plus a dedicated line dancing section so you can show off your moves. Tickets include drinks, a commemorative glass, and more.
Hop aboard the Livermore Wine Trolley for a rolling art tour through town, departing at 10 AM, 12 PM, and 2 PM from First Street Wine Company (where you'll score 10% off any purchase to enjoy on board). Cruise through the streets and take in the colorful murals that bring Livermore to life — a relaxed, mobile gallery experience perfect for a Sunday morning.
The Pleasanton RAGE are back at it with another themed match night, 6–9 PM. Free admission, community vibes, and competitive women's soccer — the perfect midweek escape.
The Livermore Rodeo returns for its 108th year with two days of world-class PRCA competition, a downtown parade, and a full week of western-themed events.
Smooth seas ahead. Join 1515 Restaurant & Lounge in Walnut Creek from 10:30 AM–1:30 PM for their first-ever Yacht Rock Brunch. Kick back with great food, fabulous cocktails, and the mellow grooves of Danny Orlando. Pure weekend bliss.
Kick off summer in style at Walnut Creek Uncorked, 5:30–8:30 PM starting at Lesher Center for the Arts. This beloved Sip, Savor & Stroll event sends you through 30+ downtown locations for curated tastings of wine, beer, and spirits, along with bites from local restaurants, exclusive shop specials, and live music. One unforgettable night out in the heart of downtown Walnut Creek.
The fair is back — and it's running Wednesdays through Sundays, noon–11 PM at the Alameda County Fairgrounds. Classic fair food, monster trucks, demolition derbies, pig racing, summer shopping, and a full concert series headline the festivities. 2026 acts include the Beach Boys and Flo Rida. Tickets and concert passes are available online.
Broadway Plaza Street in Walnut Creek comes alive from 11 AM–2 PM for a Father's Day celebration centered on sports and creativity. Paint your own custom baseball, enjoy face painting, dance to a live DJ, and soak in a storybook afternoon. Fun for the whole family.
Celebrate Father's Day with beer, family activities, and community giving at The Ramp Restaurant in San Francisco, 11 AM–4 PM. A feel-good way to honor the dads in your life while supporting a great cause.
The Blackhawk Museum in Danville hosts this beloved community tradition from 9 AM–2 PM. Expect an impressive showcase of classic cars, rare collectibles, custom builds, and fan-favorite film cars. The Juke Joint Band provides live entertainment, food trucks are on site, and there's a 9-hole inflatable mini golf course for all ages. All five museum galleries will be open, and dads get free admission. Proceeds benefit the Children's Education and Transportation Fund.
The annual Wine Fest returns 2–5 PM in the Professional Gardens, Court-of-Four, and Fine Art Plaza. Unlimited tastings, a commemorative glass, and a beautiful outdoor setting make for a perfect Saturday afternoon. Fair admission sold separately; non-drinking guests can accompany attendees at no charge.
Geek culture takes over the Bankhead Theater from 11 AM–4 PM for ComicCon Livermore. Browse artist showcases across graphic novels, manga, sci-fi, horror, fantasy, and more, then catch the cosplay contest, gaming tournaments, and anime and toy vendors. A celebration of creativity and community.
Broadway Plaza Street in Walnut Creek hosts the Makers Market from 11 AM–5 PM, spotlighting the best local makers and artists. Shop jewelry, organic body products, home goods, apparel, candles, local honey, and more — all handcrafted and eco-friendly.
