COMMUNITY SERVICES
Special Events and Concerts

for fun, play and celebration, community events and concerts create
opportunities for participants to become connected to their community.
There are six major events held throughout the year along with
eight Summer Concerts. For additional information on any of the
events or concerts, please call 650.330.2200.
