Come to a Calenda!
October 19, 2024
​California Avenue, Palo Alto

Part of the rich cultural fabric of Oaxaca, calendas are colorful, celebratory public processions featuring dancing, paper mache figures, and all manner of music and revelry: part street party and part parade. On October 19, 2024, our friends from Oaxaca are bringing this festive tradition to Palo Alto! Join the fun on California Avenue, between El Camino and the train station, from 5-6 p.m.

Before and after the calenda, California Avenue merchants and restaurants will be helping to elevate the festive mood, so plan to spend the afternoon and evening on the city's pedestrian promenade.
