Things to do
- Sunrise Birdwatching Walk: Getting up super early? That’s for the birds! No, literally, go see the birds at this early morning nature walk in the Valley. You’ll learn how to identify and spot our local feathered friends, like the California Thrasher, on this experiential walk and talk with Diego Blanco, a birding expert at the Theodore Payne Foundation.
- A Week of French Cinema: For the past 15 years, Theatre Raymond Kabbaz has hosted some of the best contemporary films in French (with subtitles for the less Francophone among us). It’s a great opportunity to see films that have gotten acclaim but may never get a big release here. This year’s crop features films on a wide range of subjects hailing from Quebec, Congo, Switzerland, and Belgium as well as France, of course.
Check out our full list of things to do this week.
