"Before or after feasting on turkey and other delicious Thanksgiving dishes, stretch your legs with a hike to see the ladybugs wintering in Reinhardt Redwood Regional Park. Just be careful not to step on them as you walk along the trail. If you're looking for something more up beat, check out Oakland's own Sheila E., who is starting a short residency at Yoshi's on Friday."
"Every year from November to February, ladybugs hunker down along Reinhart Redwood Regional Park's Stream Trail on branches and fences in clusters or colonies. The park boasts over 1,800 acres of forest and grasslands, along with walking and biking trails. Be careful walking along the trail, as many of these colorful beetles also nestle on the ground. Reinhardt Redwood Regional Park, main entrance, 5 a.m. to 10 p.m., 7867 Redwood Rd."
"Jack London Square welcomes the holidays every year with the lighting of a 55-foot Shasta Fir tree. In addition to the tree, there will be two laser light shows and a chance to take photos with Santa Claus and Frosty the Snowman. The photos are free and do-it-yourself, so be sure to have your cell phone handy. Members of the non-profit cultural education organization Oaktown Jazz Workshops (OJW) and the faith-based Lyric Performing Arts Academy will add to the holiday cheer."
