ANNUAL CAR SHOW COMING TO ALVISO ON LABOR DAY WEEKEND
The 15th Annual Santos Family Car Show is coming up this Saturday, Sept. 4 along First Street and surrounding areas in Alviso from 8:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m.

The car show is an Alviso tradition that attracts visitors from all over the Bay Area and beyond to admire the extensive array classic cars, trucks, and hot rods. Tunes from the ‘50s set the tone during this festive day, which will also include raffle prizes and vendors.
This year’s event will also include a mobile COVID-19 vaccination Clinic on Hoppe Street from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. in case you have yet to receive your vaccine. No appointment is needed in order to get a vaccination.
I invite you to join me in attending this wonderful event. Enjoy the classic cars, discover the Alviso marina, patronize local businesses, and experience what this historic part of San José has to offer.

Sincerely,
