Welcome to August Along the Avenue

We’re in the dog days of summer (traditionally July 24-Aug. 24), and The Avenue  of Glendora Village is the perfect place to walk a dog, as many owners will attest.

In fact, there are so many dogs that business owners keep water bowls well-filled on Avenue sidewalks to refresh Fido, and you’ll see many canines resting underneath sidewalk tables as their owners dine al fresco.

Beside our pet-friendly Village, several events and activities this month are a good reason to visit The Avenue:

Every Saturday

The Glendora Village Organic Farmers and Artisan Market, 10 a.m.-2 p.m., in the Village Plaza parking lot. Be sure to pick up $1 off coupons from any Village merchant for the market.
