This summer, Citrus Heights is once again sweetening community connections with the City Scoop Summer Series. Running monthly from June through August, these engaging ice cream socials are not just about indulging in some free, delicious ice cream; they’re a vibrant effort to bring neighbors together, foster a sense of community, and provide a platform for residents to learn and contribute to their neighborhood’s enhancement. Each event, scheduled from 6:30 to 8 p.m., promises an opportunity for Citrus Heights residents to meet, mingle, and create lasting bonds under the warm summer skies.

The City Scoop Summer Series stands out as a testament to Citrus Heights’ commitment to community engagement. With locations chosen based on resident votes, it’s clear that this series is by the people, for the people. This format empowers community members, giving them a stake in the events and ensuring that the selected venues resonate with local neighborhoods. Through these gatherings, attendees can discover various ways to contribute to their community, meet with local area members, and enjoy a refreshing treat in a festive, welcoming atmosphere. From addressing community concerns to celebrating local achievements, these events are designed to enhance connectivity and engagement within Citrus Heights.

Mark your calendars for these not-to-be-missed City Scoop dates in Citrus Heights: On June 6, the series kicks off at the Sylvan Oaks Library, located at 6700 Auburn Blvd., welcoming everyone for a delightful evening. The fun continues on July 11 at the Metro Fire Station 27, situated at 7474 Grand Oaks Blvd., offering another chance for residents to cool off with some ice cream while engaging with their local firefighters and neighbors. The grand finale on August 8 at Lichen K-8 School, at 8319 Lichen Dr., promises a perfect summer send-off with games, laughter, and, of course, lots of ice cream.

A special note of appreciation goes to Leatherby’s Family Creamery, who is graciously sponsoring the ice cream for the second consecutive year. Their commitment not only sweetens each event but also reflects the strong community bonds and support among Citrus Heights businesses and residents. These gatherings are more than just socials; they are a celebration of community, a place to forge new friendships, and an opportunity to deepen ties to the Citrus Heights neighborhood. Join your neighbors this summer for the City Scoop Series and experience the joy and unity that comes from sharing in simple pleasures like ice cream.
