Halloween is Happening in Los Altos
I really enjoy fall. The air is cool and crisp. The trees are changing and leaves are on the ground. It is also the time of the year when kids (and adults) get to dress up in their scariest costumes and enjoy Halloween.
On Friday the 29th, our local elementary schools will host costume parades for all the kids to show off their costumes. Based on past history, I think the teachers get the most fun out of the parades. The older kids will be off to Halloween dances.
Below are some of the local events that are happening in Los Altos around Halloween.
