Summer in Los Gatos is a joy - there's so much to do, and most of it doesn't cost a dime, thanks to the generosity of many sponsors. There are three free music concert series in Los Gatos, and together they provide a wide spectrum of musical styles and entertainment. Included are jazz, classical, rock & roll tribute bands, and much more.
Below please find the combined schedule - I have done my best to make it accurate but cannot guarantee anything so please double check with the website for each of the series. If you're here over Independence Day weekend, you're in for a double treat as there are 2 concerts on July 4th!
For general information about Music in the Park, Jazz on the Plazz and Vasona Vibrations, please see their websites:

Countywide, prices are marching upward! It is a HOT seller's market in the lower price ranges of Silicon Valley, especially if a home is not a distressed sale. Rising prices bring a cooler market in most areas and price points, though.
Los Gatos is a mixed bag too. Lower priced homes "in the schools" are selling nicely. Although it's more challenging to sell higher priced homes, there are quite a few homes over $2,000,000 which are sale pending.
Below please find a snapshot of the statistics for closed sales of single family homes in Los Gatos for May 2009:
As always, please remember that the market really is a collection of smaller markets. What's happening in one part of town or price range may not be happening in your home's area or price point. Please contact me for assistance in understanding the market you're most interested in.
