About Lafayette Community Day

On Saturday, June 1, 2024, Lafayette Community Foundation, in partnership with the City of Lafayette and the Lafayette Chamber of Commerce, presents the 3rd Annual Lafayette Community Day!

Registration and Selection of Projects

From April 1-30, Lafayette residents will have the opportunity to register and pre-select a project for Community Day. 

All those who register after April 30 will have the opportunity on the morning of Community Day to learn about the participating nonprofit organizations and select their project. Note: We are offering more family-friendly projects this year!

Everyone should arrive at 8 am to enjoy breakfast treats and to learn about the project-host organizations. We suggest everyone dress to get dirty, i.e., to garden or paint a fence. Feel free to bring your favorite work gloves with you. 

Registration for the 3rd Annual Lafayette Community Day closes on Friday, May 24. 

All projects will be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis. 

Free parking in municipal parking lots off of Golden Gate Parkway until 3:00 pm.
