Art lovers will enjoy over 25 sculptures throughout the city, which are part of its Public Art Program. Wine enthusiasts can take part in the annual Los Altos Arts & Wine Festival in September. The town also hosts family-oriented events such as a weekly Farmer’s Market, and an annual Easter egg hunt, Holiday Stroll, and tree lighting ceremony.
