1 Great local event. Event will have the tendency to attract non-local participants, which could
come with it's own problems, however worth it to give the residents a great opportunity to enjoy
our beautiful town and residents.
8/16/2021 7:44 AM
2 Would like to see it done more often and more nights 8/15/2021 9:00 PM
3 I think Catherine and her staff did an amazing job! There were a lot of smiling faces and people
looked thrilled to be outdoors, interacting and enjoying the lovely weather. I think the boon to
restaurants was a plus in light of the Covid-19 hits everyone has taken. There didn't appear to
any wrinkles in the running of the event. I hope the Chamber of Commerce will bring back this
series of events next summer!!
8/15/2021 4:54 PM
4 Thanks for providing a source of good cheer and signs of life as safely as possible during
covid! I only wish the promenade season had lasted longer.
8/15/2021 4:09 PM
5 Please continue but move to Saturdays?8/15/2021 1:48 PM
6 Love it. More such community event opportunities would be good.8/15/2021 10:57 AM
7 It was wonderful to have the event and should continue. Our town needs events like this to
support our local businesses.
8/15/2021 10:00 AM
8 It was great fun. I hope it is something the town keeps in the future.8/15/2021 6:41 AM
9 Super fun!8/14/2021 9:37 PM
10 Please do more events like this.8/14/2021 8:41 PM
11 Very successful event!8/14/2021 7:38 PM
12 Enjoyed the beverage stands and live music 8/14/2021 1:16 PM
13 Loved it all!!! Please continue next year, but maybe go into September!8/14/2021 12:46 PM
14 It would have been nice if the restaurants each had a “signature dish “ for sale outside their
restaurants. Also featuring a few local artists would be nice. There really wasn’t anything
special to see or do at the event. Need a few things to showcase the town.
8/14/2021 11:41 AM
15 Have more weeks 8/14/2021 9:57 AM
16 Please keep the outdoor dining areas. Everyone I know loves it. The town feels alive and
friendly
8/14/2021 7:24 AM
17 Wonderful event. Job well done. Hope to see the event back next year.8/14/2021 4:43 AM
18 I loved promenade and wish the season was not ended so early. Also, having the ability to
walk on Santa Cruz was amazing. I would be in favor of that year-round.
8/13/2021 10:49 PM
19 Bring it back for sure, but enforce parking restrictions.8/13/2021 9:06 PM
20 I shared some with Catherine. A better job needs to be done on the Almond Grove Streets with
traffic/speeding....
8/13/2021 8:04 PM
21 Loved the bands and seeing people celebrating and dancing 8/13/2021 7:42 PM
22 Change from Thursday to all day Sunday.8/13/2021 6:54 PM
23 One observation: Crowds increased each time we went! The word must have gotten out how
great the Promenades were!

24 Hate the noise, traffic, lack of parking enforcement and the street closures.8/13/2021 5:01 PM
25 Noise and traffic, including well after event end time very unpleasant for downtown residents.
We put up with it for COVID recovery, but very glad it is over and do NOT want to see street
closure in the future!!!
8/13/2021 4:54 PM
26 There could be better communication with bars that were caught a bit short for staffing when
the event was extended and no notice was given. Otherwise, it was a great event that should
be done every year! 4-9:00 would be better timing as 3:00 is a fairly dead time.
8/13/2021 4:28 PM
27 I saw so many families. More activities for kids would be great! The performers were fun but
they were on for a very short show. Maybe face paintings, balloons, lawn games for the little
ones. Also, I would have loved to see more "to-go" food options. Most of the tables were all
alcohol, which was nice, but it would have been cool if restaurants were serving a few street-
style options from their menu as well.
8/13/2021 4:16 PM
28 Love to see more events like this!8/13/2021 4:10 PM
29 I absolutely loved the event. Such a great way to get together! Please repeat next summer. Or
make it a year-round event with one promenade per month.
8/13/2021 7:50 AM
30 I just miss the park environment to listen to music 8/13/2021 7:30 AM
31 Wondering why it is on a Thursday vs. a Friday. Possibly for traffic reasons and shutting down
the street? Kind of liked it on a Thursday, but maybe switch it up a couple of nights throughout
summer so more people can attend. Loved that it is kid and dog friendly. I think it is great for
the local businesses and encourages people to go downtown. Social media push on Instagram
was a good amount and raised awareness for the younger crowd. I liked that it wasn't only for
older people and inclusive to all. Also encouraged safe area for young adults where they can
be around parents too.
8/12/2021 9:51 PM
32 Merchants said they would gladly pay weekly to extend the events. They said they are
required to have a permit to sell alcohol outside their location, and would gladly pay weekly to
continue the Thursday events.
8/12/2021 8:28 PM
33 This was a wonderful concept as it brought together all age groups of the community. Young
families early, adults around dinner, and younger adults into the evening - it was really original
in that it tailored to ALL age groups
8/12/2021 1:23 PM
34 A welcomed addition to the summer! What a nice treat for the town. Thank you!8/12/2021 10:50 AM
35 It was great!8/12/2021 9:20 AM
36 Keep them going! It's so fun, best thing to happen in Los Gatos in awhile 8/12/2021 8:28 AM
37 Find ways to make these more family friendly events 8/12/2021 7:59 AM
38 It was well organized. Congrats on a great job!8/12/2021 7:37 AM
39 Have it on weekends to disrupt beach traffic. Consumers, vendors, everyone happy. Have
more kiosks, make purchasing food and drinks easier. Lines get long in restaurants.
8/12/2021 7:08 AM
40 Would love to see more of these 7 was not enough!8/12/2021 6:53 AM
41 Amazing event to implement in Summer!8/12/2021 6:21 AM
42 Hope we can do more events like this 8/12/2021 12:42 AM
43 Keep them next summer!!!!8/12/2021 12:05 AM
44 Do more of these ! Jazz in Plazz and park concerts hopefully will come back. Live music is
very fun for all.
8/11/2021 11:03 PM
45 I think advertising could’ve been better before week 1. I saw no signs around town, barely
heard anything about it other than one post I’d seen on instagram
8/11/2021 10:56 PM
46 My hometown has ‘themes’ for their summer downtown events - might be cute. Ex: Christmas
in July, Rivalry night (A’s/Giants/49’ers/Raiders) , 50’s /Sock Hop (kids get dressed up and
dance. ). Just changes things up.
8/11/2021 9:31 PM
47 Please keep this going! Once a month on Saturdays would be awesome 8/11/2021 9:13 PM

48 Hope it continues but not at the expense of Music in the Park, that has been such an
important part of the fabric of the community. Jazz is awesome as well, hopefully all can
continue
8/11/2021 9:11 PM
49 always looked like people were enjoying themselves. Loved seeing all the happy faces 8/11/2021 9:06 PM
50 Thanks for creating this fun weekly event. It's been a great part of our summer 8/11/2021 8:46 PM
51 Maybe adding a few tents or umbrellas for shade or even misting if not in drought. And
pedicabs for people to get to and from home might be a fun addition
8/11/2021 8:02 PM
52 Keep it going!8/11/2021 6:27 PM
53 The outdoor dining and events are great addition to the town 8/11/2021 5:19 PM
54 The Promenade event is fantastic! It brings more people to downtown and helps fill the
restaurants and shops. My only suggestion would be to move the music further into the center
of town, away from the office buildings that are near the corner of Bachman. The loud music
was disruptive to meetings I attend late in the afternoon, mostly on Zoom, as it was difficult to
hear the other participants on the meeting. Otherwise, I love it and applaud your innovative
thinking!
8/11/2021 5:08 PM
55 8/11/2021 4:40 PM
56 please do more of it with more places to sit and relax 8/11/2021 4:02 PM
57 If parking problem is not solved, none of these great things can succeed!8/11/2021 3:48 PM
58 Pls. do this next year!8/11/2021 3:34 PM
59 Great idea! We enjoyed it.8/11/2021 2:41 PM
60 Fun experience with an amazing vibe. I hope they are held again next summer 8/11/2021 2:23 PM
61 They sound fun but when and where are they held? I was not aware of them this year 8/11/2021 2:22 PM
62 Keep them coming - I love how they brought Los Gatos back to life.8/11/2021 1:53 PM
63 These should be a feature every summer and even occasionally during other times of year.8/11/2021 1:31 PM
64 More food vendors and perhaps more fun game things??8/11/2021 12:53 PM
65 Please keep doing them!!8/11/2021 12:45 PM
66 Loved them! Would have liked more and also consider doing something like this the night of
the tree lighting ceremony at the holidays!
8/11/2021 12:43 PM
67 We really enjoyed the event. Really nice outdoors activity that helped feel like we are done
with the pandemic (although we aren't). Made LG feel really vibrant and fun!
