We have all waited a long time for things to feel like ‘normal’ again, and while much has changed – much of the spring events that we have come to know & love are back! Homes of Silicon Valley is pleased to share just a few of the many opportunities to experience food, music, indoor arts & outdoor fun this season. Whether you see an old favorite or new-to-you happening, we hope that whatever you do – you make it memorable.
