Cupertino hosts Holi ‘Festival of Color’ April 2
Holi Cupertino
Cupertino Chamber of Commerce is hosting a free Holi event, “Cupertino Festival of Colors,” Sunday, April 2, 11 a.m.-4 .pm., at the Quinlan Community Center, 10185 N. Stelling Road.
The family-friendly festival celebrates the arrival of spring and features food, music and the ubiquitous colored powders with which to adorn fellow festival goers. The city of Cupertino requires that all color be eco-friendly, and so the Chamber is asking folks not to bring their own powder. Bags of color will be available for $5 each.
Free festival parking is available at De Anza College parking lot A & B. Register to attend at Eventbrite.com.
Fire protection class
As storms batter California, fire prevention is likely far from residents’ minds. But officials say it’s never too early to prepare for the state’s ever-unpredictable fire season. Next Wednesday, April 5, Santa Clara County Fire is hosting an online course on how to protect your home from catching when wildfires are nearby. The course runs 6:30-8:30 p.m., and an additional session will take place April 17 for those who can’t make it to the first. To register, visit SCCFD.Eventbrite.com.
Virtual Earth Day
The Santa Clara Valley Open Space Authority has a couple virtual events planned for April.
First up on April 7 is a virtual investigation of Earth Day. Set for noon-1 p.m., this Zoom webinar will take a close look at the April 22 event and why it is important. It will also cover Earth-friendly practices and events.
An April 14 webinar will highlight the restoration of the Furtado Barn at Sierra Vista Open Space Preserve and show how community members can get involved.
Registration for both events is at Eventbrite.com.
