Fall's Journey, Prelude -- Sunset Foliage, Holiday Stroll, Los Altos Downtown
Details
🍂✨ Los Altos Foliage & Holiday Stroll
Have you noticed fall is here?
The leaves are turning colors, Halloween has just passed. It is time for another season. Los Altos downtown is famous for its fall colors, and it so happens it is also holding a "Holiday Stroll" event this Friday. So we are going in for a Friday evening: fall foliage in the last daylight, dinner together, then the 23rd Annual Holiday Stroll under the lights.
Los Altos downtown is old and beautiful, diagonal and meandering streets. The downtown Holiday Stroll is 5–9pm, with live music, sparkling lights, strolling carolers and shopping specials throughout the village. We’re making a whole evening of it, and you can join at whichever point fits your Friday.

2️⃣ Dinner, 5:15 PM
Meet at the same Starbucks. We’ll split into small tables at nearby restaurants: new faces and real conversation.
3️⃣ Holiday Stroll, 6:45 PM late boomer
Meet at Veterans Community Plaza (Main & State). Lights, carolers, and the whole downtown out together. We’ll mix up the groups so you meet more people.
