Downtown Farmers Market Extends Season Through Late October
Los Altos, CA · October 10, 2026
Pour an extra cup of coffee before stepping outside this morning. Between afternoon library gallery receptions and hillside volunteer harvests, your Saturday has plenty lined up once the clouds thin.
The Lead
Northern California publisher Weeklys Media Group acquired the Los Altos Town Crier on Friday, marking a pivotal transition for the community broadsheet that has chronicled town life since 1947. Delivering roughly 15,000 print copies each week across Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, and Mountain View, the paper has long functioned as the town’s living record, tracking school boards, civic debates, and neighborhood milestones. Becoming the sixteenth publication under the Weeklys umbrella, the paper gains regional digital resources while navigating local residents’ hopes that its hyper-focused editorial identity remains intact. Company chief executive Dan Pulcrano pledged to uphold the masthead’s distinct local reporting traditions. Newsroom operations will continue out of their familiar downtown corridors as the staff prepares its first combined production cycle ahead of next Wednesday’s print run.
