The Holidays in Los Gatos

 

Los Gatos Beckons! 



So many fun things are happening during the month of December in Los Gatos: come be a part of them!

The Fantasy of Lights is back for the 8th year in a row!  From Thanksgiving through New Year’s Eve, Vasona County Park in Los Gatos is alight with holiday cheer!  http://www.sccgov.org/portal/site/fol/

Friday December 1st, 4 – 6pm: annual tree-lighting ceremony and festivities at the town's Plaza Park.

Saturday December 2nd, 11 am: The Town of Los Gatos’ 50th Annual Holiday Parade (arrive early to get nearby parking and a good viewing spot)   And please bring toys, canned goods, warm weather clothing etc. to the town plaza to support Toys for Tots and St. Luke’s Episcopal Food Pantry for the homeless. Please view this PDF for more info on the 50th anniversary celebration activities and drive:

A pet-friendly Christmas: anyone who’s been to
Los Gatos (the Cats) knows that the town seems to be very dog-friendly. This is true during the holidays too. "Santa Paws" December 3rd, 11 am to 3 pm. Four footed friends  get a chance to have a photo taken with Santa. Hosted by "Santa in the Plaza" committee & Los Gatos-Saratoga Recreation Department. (408-354-8700)

"Santa in the Plaza" - three dates!  December 16, 2 - 4 pm. and December 17, 11 - 3 and December 23 12 -4 at Town Plaza Plark. Photo op!  Brought to you by "Santa in the Plaza" committee & Los Gatos-Saratoga Recreation Department. (408-354-8700)

Shop
Los Gatos!  Free Valet Parking will be available downtown
. Download a PDF of the town’s many shops and services below. Make a day of it and enjoy great ambiance and unique stores!  And do not forget to visit King's Court Shopping Center too. It is located at the corner of Los Gatos Boulevard and Blossom Hill Road, and is home to several of the town's finest, and most unique, shops!  One of them is The Wooden Horse, which I think is the best independent toy store I've ever seen, with toys and games aimed at helping children to grow and develop.  Another is the Chocolate Dream Box, a yummy Belgian chocolate store.  Additionally, enjoy a trip into The Wild Bird Center and Fiori's Hallmark.  There are several restaurants right in King's Court, or walk across the street to Whole Foods and grab a salad.
