Filling a Cupertino weekend without overspending is a small art form — especially with toddlers, picky eaters, and naps to schedule around. The good news: between this Saturday (May 9) and Labor Day, there are at least eight free or near-free family events within 15 minutes of De Anza Blvd that actually work for kids. Here’s the planner.
A note before you start: the West Coast Farmers Market at De Anza Lot B is currently flagged “Temporarily CLOSED” on its own site, and the Cupertino Summer Concert Series 2026 lineup hasn’t been published yet — verify those on cupertino.gov before driving over.
