Main Street is cleaning itself up. Organized by the Main Street Merchants Association, “Ocean Park Park Community Clean-up Day” will be held on Saturday, Oct. 19, from 9 a.m. to noon.

Citizens are asked to help clean up the area from Neilsen Way to Fourth Street, from Pico Boulevard to the southern border of Santa Monica.

Those who are interested in helping should meet and park at the Victorian, 2640 Main St., just south of Ocean Park Boulevard. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m.

All volunteers will receive a $20 gift certificate from A/X, and $5 gift certificates from The Library Alehouse and Cleaner By Nature, and more.

All volunteers can enter to win prizes donated by Main Street merchants including Joe’s Diner, Patagonia, Fedora Primo, ZJ Boarding House, Shoop’s Deli, Ocean Park Beauty Supply, O’Brien’s Irish Pub, World Cafe, Mani’s Bakery, Rick’s Tavern, Omelettes at Sunday Farmers’ Market, La Vecchia Cucina, Casa Allegra, Splash Bath & Body, and more.

There will be a post cleanup get together at the Library Alehouse. Volunteers under 18 years old need parental or guardian supervision.
