🎸 Los Altos First Friday: A Night of Music, Fun + 10-15 Bands! 🎤 🎶 💃🏻🕺

🎸 Welcome the New Year! On the First Friday of every month, downtown Los Altos comes alive with live music (10-15 bands!), dancing, food, drinks, and plenty of people-watching along First and Main Streets. 🎤 💃🏻 🕺

Our own Rob Van Wandelen’s House Band will be performing on the patio at Enchanté Boutique Hotel from 6:00–8:00 pm. House Band brings high-energy dance music spanning the Stones, Beatles, Elton John, Pink, Black Keys, and Adele.

While Rob is performing with the band, he won’t be at a table hosting. If you don’t see the group right away, check with the bar staff or look for one or two larger tables on the patio — that’s usually where New Beginnings gathers. If you arrive first, feel free to start a table.

During the set break, Rob often stops by for a beer and a quick “hi.” Enchanté Hotel is our usual hub until 8 pm, after which we wander to nearby venues to catch other bands until 9 pm. 👉 See the night’s full lineup here: losaltosfirstfriday.fun.
