They’re bringing fresh produce, local makers, and neighborhood energy to Thursday evenings at Public Market. Shop seasonal ingredients, discover new vendors, and stay for dinner, drinks, and live music inside the Market. An easy after-work plan all in one place. Come once, and it might just become your new Thursday routine.

Former Emeryville Coffeehouse owner seeks your help!

Latest Update.

Chris Hillyard and wife Amy were fervent coffeehouse owners on 65^th in Emeryville and wonderful community members until 2016. We still remember them for their great community spirit and support.

And now we want to return the support. His wife Amy has been missing since March 25, 2026.

Amy was last seen on Wednesday, March 25, sometime after 2pm in the vicinity of the 500 block of Radnor Road in Oakland. Amy is 5’4”, approximately 120 pounds, with blonde hair and hazel eyes. She was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, light-colored jeans, and white sneakers with black stripes. She is considered at risk due to a medical condition. OPD found a video about a week later showing that on the day of her disappearance she was at Oakland’s Diamond Park. No further information.

Chris and his two girls are desperate for information that will lead to her return. If you can help, please visit their website for more information. Thank you from the SF on the Bay team and our Emeryville business community.

The Experience:

It’s an Outdoor Boutique. It’s Handcrafted. It’s an Art Alfresco Experience!

Join the villagers and artists on Saturday, April 25 and Sunday, April 26 from 10am – 5pm. Plan your day around this sidewalk art show and have lunch in Montclair. Montclair Village Art Walk enters its 49th year and celebrates art in the outdoors when more than 50 artists from the Bay Area and beyond will be displaying their handcrafted artwork along the sidewalks and against the scenic backdrop of Montclair Village and the Oakland Hills.

Connect with the artists and find a unique treasure for gifting or adding to your personal collection.

Paintings, sculptures, home & office décor, artisan bags and clothing, unique hand-crafted jewelry and more. Presented by the Montclair Village Association, this free open air art gallery offers a chance to get to know the participating artists and learn the stories behind each piece they make.

Featured Artisans Includes:

Stephen Anderson of Spring Garden Cedar takes Western Red Cedar lumber and hand crafts it into unique outdoor furniture designs.

Megan Brown Ceramics namesake artist wheel throws and hand builds functional, modern ceramic tableware, home decor and jewelry using porcelain and stoneware.

Painter Jenna Hobbs’ artwork ranges from realistic to impressionistic to completely abstract. Jenna blends geometric abstraction with depiction in order to display an intersection between the two.

For a complete list of participating artists, click here.

Visit on Sunday and in addition to leaving with new art treasures, take home fresh produce and delectables from La Salle Avenue’s wonderful farmers’ market stalls from 9am-1pm.

The Art Walk takes place in the Montclair shopping district on Mountain Boulevard at LaSalle Avenue, off Highway 13, between Park Boulevard and Thornhill Drive.
