Los Gatos has always been a special place. Since our founding in 1887, this town has had a gift for bringing people together, and that tradition is as alive as ever in 2026. This weekend, we have a wonderful opportunity to celebrate everything we love about this community, and I hope you’ll be part of it. 

This Sunday, April 26, I hope you’ll join me at Spring into Green, the Town’s annual Earth Day celebration, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Town Plaza Park. This year the event is bigger and better than ever, with tons of family-friendly activities, environmentally focused booths, face painting, live music, a tree-planting ceremony and even extended Farmers’ Market hours. Whether you’re passionate about the environment, looking for a fun family outing or simply want to enjoy a beautiful spring day in our town, Spring into Green has something for everyone.

At noon, I’ll be delivering my State of the Town address, a short speech covering the progress we’ve made together and what’s ahead for our community. We have a lot to be proud of. From meaningful steps on wildfire preparedness and e-bike safety, to investments in youth engagement and public safety, to exciting progress on new infrastructure and a strong local economy, Los Gatos is moving forward on many fronts.

After my remarks, I’ll be at my own booth and would love to talk with you. If you have questions or ideas—or just want to say hello—please come chat.

Spring into Green is one of my favorite events of the year, because it captures so much of what makes this town great: neighbors coming together, a shared commitment to our environment and genuine pride in the community we’ve built. With Earth Day as its backdrop, it’s a fitting reminder of the importance of preserving this place we love for future generations. 

And, make sure that you don’t miss the Los Gatos Wine Walk the day before—on Saturday, April 25, from 2-5pm. It’s a wonderful chance to stroll through our charming downtown, support local businesses, and make new friends.

I hope to see many of you in town this weekend. Come for the Wine Walk, stay for Spring into Green, and let’s celebrate Los Gatos together.
