Los Altos Daily: Crab Feed, School Musical, and City Hall Updates

Here is a quick look at what’s happening around town today and into next week.

Crab feed fundraiser anchors the weekend

Los Altos residents have a chance to eat well and do good tonight, as an all-you-can-eat crab feed fundraiser returns on Saturday, February 7. The event, listed on the local community calendar, raises money for a group of local service agencies and is expected to draw families from across town.

Organizers are describing it as a classic winter social with big tables, plenty of crab and a focus on supporting year-round programs that help neighbors in need. If you go, plan for crowds and consider carpooling or walking, since popular community events can fill nearby parking quickly.

High school musical closes with Saturday show

Los Altos High School’s production of “Singin’ in the Rain” is in its final night of performances, wrapping up a three-day run that started Thursday. The show brings together around 80 students on stage, in the pit orchestra and behind the scenes, making it one of the larger theater efforts of the year.

Tickets are available at student and general-admission prices, with sales offered online and at the door. For families with teens in the cast or anyone who has not yet seen a campus show this year, tonight is the last chance to catch the musical and support local arts education.

City Hall updates: office hours and meetings

This weekend follows a busy stretch at City Hall. Vice Mayor Larry Lang held drop-in office hours at the Los Altos Community Center on Friday morning, giving residents a chance to raise neighborhood concerns and ask questions one-on-one.

Looking ahead, the City Council is scheduled to meet on Tuesday, February 10, for its next regular session. Later in the month, commissions focused on parks and arts, planning and street design will convene, with public meetings set for February 17, 19, 24 and 25. Residents should also note that an Environmental Commission meeting previously planned for February 11 has been canceled and city facilities will observe the Presidents Day holiday on February 16.

Public safety reminders from Los Altos police

The Los Altos Police Department is highlighting its current fee schedule, which took effect in mid-2025 and covers everything from alarm permits to downtown parking permits and cost-recovery fees for DUI responses. The goal is to align fees with the true cost of services while encouraging safe driving and responsible use of police resources.

Residents can review the latest fees and learn how to request reports or permits through the department’s records and business office. Police also continue to promote their online crime map, updated daily, where community members can view recent incidents by neighborhood and sign up for email alerts about activity near their homes.
