The Walk4Literacy Sacramento is a family-friendly, four-mile walk through north Oak Park and culminates at the McClatchy Park Walk 4 Literacy Family Festival.  There will be  live music and activities for the whole family.  Join us when we walk together with those committed to solving Sacramento’s literacy challenge. Walk-in registrations will be available; however, we encourage you to sign up ahead of time so that we can prepare for all walkers!
