February always brings a busy Art Walk and this one was no exception. Exceptional art, music venues, crafters, gourmet food trucks, fine dining, farmers markets...all added up to a very full and very busy Art Walk in downtown Pomona. The Farmers Market alone registered over 4,000 visitors, the Glass House sold out as did the Fox theater with Mr. Snoop Dogg performing. Restaurants and pubs were

The first Art walk of the new year was a good one. Lots of new, exciting shows...great artists all. It was a full house all around town. The galleries were well viewed, the restaurants, pubs, and night clubs were at capacity, and the farmers market hit a new attendance record...3,000. Let's do it again next month!

Saturday night's Evening of Jazz at Thomas Plaza, downtown Pomona, was an absolute success. The music was a kick, the weather was perfect, and the crowd was as mellow and sweet as the music. After the Juneteenth Celebration at Ganesha Park the festivities continued in the downtown from 6 PM to 9 Pm. It was all good!

The Third Annual DPOA Dodger Day took place Saturday, June 13, the 3rd game in the freeway series Dodgers/Angels. 75 people signed up to go, about 3/4 of them Dodger Fans. Everyone seemed to have a good time. Angel fans smiled under their breath as the Angels took all three games.

The Vehicle Parking District has asked the DPOA to conduct a poll to determine if there were benefits to downtown merchants and property owners. What do you think about it? We are encouraging everyone to leave us more feedback in the comments area. Was hosting the movie production "Love Barack" a benefit to the downtown?survey software
