Dining, Entertainment, and Shopping

Enjoy juicy Southern style burgers on the casual outdoor patio the Canyon Club Brewery, a low-key brewpub serving house-brewed beers alongside small savory plates. Immerse yourself in charming Italian decor at Postino where the aesthetic is as pleasing as the upscale meals served with wine. Be sure to try their creamy Alfredo Pasta and relish your meal with friends on the outdoor patio or book a private dining room for an important business dinner.

Have you been in a restaurant with a waiter who sings opera? Well, step into Locanda Positano for not just the pizzas, but also the melodies of opera from the soothing voice of one of their waiters, serenading you as you dig into classic traditional gnocchi or lasagna. Enjoy signature Spaghetti Bolognese, lamb sliders, and burgers at Social Bird, and down your meal with an exquisitely mixed cocktail or handcrafted beer.

Things to Do

Join the fun at the Orinda 4th of July Parade, with a host of activities to keep everyone entertained. Kids are in for a treat at the hot wheels race or scavenger hunts, while adults aren’t left out as they can bop along to live musical performances whilst sampling the food by local vendors. Everybody ends the day with a view of the Moraga Fireworks across the night sky.

Challenge your buddies to a game of golf across the lush landscape at the exclusive Moraga Country Club. Relax your sore muscles at the club pool before heading in to enjoy a quick dinner at the exclusive indoor restaurant that caters only to members.
