“Open Streets” highlights the weekend

April will kick off on Saturday with one of the biggest happenings of 2017 for Garden Grove, the “Open Streets Event.” But there are other fun things happening in the Garden Grove-Huntington Beach-Westminster area this weekend, and here’s our list. Enjoy the weather!
