There's one of those Sundays coming up where you could just wander around Moraga and keep finding things to do: art, wine, classic cars, live music. It all kind of stacks on top of each other. This is Lamorinda Life.
0:15
I'm Rajiv, and here's what's worth getting out for this week in Lamorinda, April thirtieth through May sixth.
0:21
It's a nice mix this week, a couple easy drop-ins, something a little more social, and then a pretty full Sunday if you wanna make a day of it. Starting Thursday, there's Thursday After Hours over at Troppa in Lafayette.
0:34
It's a DJ night with cocktails, a little more energy than your typical weeknight spot. Good if you're looking to meet up with friends or just want something different from the usual dinner out.
0:45
First Friday's Makers' Market is back in Orinda. This one's easy. Swing by, walk around, check out local vendors, and then grab dinner or a drink nearby. It's more of a drop-in than something you need to plan around.
0:56
Saturday has a couple good options, but the one that stands out is Chicas Love Tacos and Crafts. You're making a handmade crafts, there's tacos and margaritas, and it's just a relaxed setup.
1:06
A nice one if you want something a little more interactive, especially with Mother's Day coming up. Then Sunday is really the anchor this week.
1:13
Moraga Art Walk & Roll takes over the Rheem Shopping Center with art, live music, wine, and classic cars. It's one of those events where you don't need a plan. Just show up, walk around, and see where it takes you.
1:27
Good for families, easy with friends, or even just on your own for a bit. Also on Sunday, there's the Viva la Velocità Car Show over at St Mary's, which pairs nicely if you're already out.
1:38
And if you want something more low-key, Orinda Theatre is running the original Star Wars trilogy on the big screen. One thing I'd call out this week is just how stacked Sunday is.
1:49
You've got multiple events, and it's one of those rare days where you can bounce between things without really trying.
1:55
Start at the Art Walk, check out the cars, grab something to eat, and you've kind of built your own day. A few quick hits.
2:02
Tuesday is Cinco de Mayo with a couple local options if you want something easy with tacos and a drink. Wednesday, there's a Greet happy hour, more of a casual community meetup.
2:13
And if you're looking for something simple midweek, Headlands has trivia on Wednesdays. That's the week. If you've been meaning to get out a bit more locally, this is a good one to do it.
2:24
The weather cools off slightly over the weekend, but still comfortable enough to be outside for a few hours. As always, I send this out every Thursday in the Lamorinda Life newsletter with the full list and links.
2:36
Hope you find something worth showing up for.
