Weekender 7/28/16

The last weekend of July is upon us….Here’s some of the fun to be had this weekend.  Take a look!

Do you smell the Garlic yet??  This weekend the 38^th Annual Gilroy Garlic Festival is the place to be for all you garlic lovers out there!  The event runs  each day from 10:00 am through 7:00 pm beginning Friday, 7/29 and running through Sunday, 7/31.  Caltrain has brought back the Garlic train, leaving out of Diridon station.  See link below for additional details.

A little too hot for you down in Gilroy?  Head to San Francisco.  It’s sure to be 30 degrees cooler!  While in town, catch a Giants game.  They host the Washington Nationals beginning tonight, Thursday 7/28 and it’s Law Enforcement Appreciation Night – Game time 7:15 pm.  Saturday, 7/29 is also a 7:15 pm start and it is Wine Fest.  Saturday and Sunday’s games both have 1:05 pm start times with Saturday being Buster Hugs Mugs give-away and Sunday being Bruce Bochy Gnome give-away……I have a feeling  I’m going to a lot of the Gnomes around!

Need a little culture?  How does Shakespeare in the Park sound?  You’ll find this free event in Cupertino at the Memorial Park Amphitheater.  Performances are on Saturday, 7/30 and Sunday 7/31.  Showtime is 7:30 pm.
