"If you haven't gotten a chance to check out Alebrijes en San Jose a touring exhibition of eight towering magical animal statues there's a great opportunity this weekend. The Ritmos y Colores festival at Plaza de Cesar Chavez will celebrate the colorful Mexican folk art on Saturday night. The statues made their debut last month during the San Jose Jazz Summer Fest, and you couldn't count how many people were taking selfies in front of them."
"Saturday's festivities start at 5 p.m. and include several live musical performance and a community procession featuring Aztec dance group Calpulli Ocelocihuatl, lowrider cars, the SJZ High School All Stars Float and music from Mariachi Alma Bohemia de Angel Mendez and Grupo Folklorico Los Lupenos. It sounds like a parade to me, too, but it also sounds like fun whatever you call it."
"At 8 p.m., there'll be a drone show over the intersection of Park Avenue and Almaden Boulevard presented by the San Jose Downtown Association. This should be an almost identical show to the one that took place Saturday night at Summer Fest, though organizers were hoping to fix a few things from the first show. You can get the full schedule for those events at alebrijes.sanjosejazz.org."
