Avg. Event Rating (4.5 Stars): Add Review/Comment

This year is the 231st anniversary of the 1777 founding of El Pueblo de San Jose de Guadalupe and a cause for celebration. History San Jose invites the community to a free celebration on Sunday, July 27 from noon to 5 p.m. at the Peralta Adobe in downtown San Jose. At this free public event the community may experience first-hand life in the mid 18th century. This family-friendly event is planned with several hands-on activities that wind back the clock 200-plus years, including singing and dancing, spinning and weaving. The event also includes tours of the two-room Peralta Adobe and visitors may also tour the 1855 Fallon House.

    This is well worth the effort; fits all ages as for adults it's quite interesting to tour the Fallon House and Peralta Adobe which aren't open very often, and the variety of activity for children is great. I especially enjoyed the home-made tortillas. The descendants of the De Anza party are all really enthusiastic and welcoming, joyous on celebrating 'their day.' The entertainment on the stages is okay, but not exciting; otherwise I would give this 5 stars rather than 4.5. But it's free, educational, fun and uplifting all at once. Collapse
