JUNE EDITION

JUNETEENTH: A DAY OF UNITY AND CELEBRATION

The 2nd Annual Juneteenth Celebration at City Park brought our community together in a powerful tribute to freedom, unity, and cultural pride. The event featured a variety of live performances, including vibrant acts from Stepz Dance Fitness, Virtuous Voices, Bronze Girl Productions, spoken word artist Monique McCoy, The Edwins Brothers, and the legendary Digital Underground.

Attendees enjoyed delicious food from local restaurants and food trucks, kids' activities, craft vendors, educational booths and the freedom walk hosted by the Downtown Brentwood Coalition.

This incredible day wouldn't have been possible without the generous support of our sponsors. Special thanks to Fremont Bank, our presenting sponsor, and to Kaiser Permanente and John Muir Health for their continued commitment to health, wellness, and community.

To every performer, vendor, community partner, and guest, thank you for being part of this unforgettable celebration. We can't wait to see you next year!

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

To preserve neighborhood character and maintain housing stability, the City of Brentwood does not allow short-term rentals of residential properties.

• What is a short-term rental? Any rental of a home, room, or even outdoor amenities (like pools or backyards) for 30 days or fewer.

• What does this mean for residents? It is unlawful to advertise, list, or rent any part of your property for short stays, whether through websites, apps, or private agreements.

• Why this policy? To support long-term housing, reduce disruption in residential neighborhoods, and protect the community's quality of life.
