SARATOGA, Santa Clara County — October 25, 2026. Saratoga’s official events calendar lists a Witchy Walk-A-Bout for Saturday, October 31, 2026, from 2 to 4 p.m. in Historic Saratoga Village along Big Basin Way. The calendar also includes a Youth Commission meeting on Tuesday, October 27, from 7 to 9 p.m., giving local residents two different opportunities to take part in community life this week.

Halloween in the Village

The municipal listing places the Witchy Walk-A-Bout in the historic downtown area on October 31, in the afternoon rather than at night. Readers should consult the October 2026 city calendar for details, accessibility information and any changes issued by the organizer. The calendar alone does not establish which individual shops are participating, whether supplies are guaranteed, or specific parking restrictions.

How the Youth Commission meeting differs

The city’s schedule identifies the October 27 Youth Commission meeting at City Hall’s Linda Callon Conference Room. It is a municipal commission meeting, not a City Council vote. Anyone planning to attend or comment should find the specific posted agenda before leaving home. The commission’s discussions and recommendations are not automatically binding city policy.

Read council documents before drawing conclusions

Saratoga’s Agenda Center offers City Council and commission meeting records, including an October 21 City Council regular meeting entry and a separate October 7 entry. The October 21 agenda record shows it was amended on October 22. Residents should compare the latest posted version of a document with earlier versions when reporting a procedural change, and look for approved minutes or official recordings before stating that a measure passed.

The Agenda Center allows visitors to subscribe to notifications when agendas are posted and watch meeting videos for the Council, Planning Commission and Finance Advisory Committee. For development projects, residents should distinguish a Planning Commission hearing from Council action and from the city’s administrative permit process.

Useful verification before attending

Use the city calendar for event dates and the agenda archive for meeting packets. Cancellations and room changes happen, and a calendar entry does not override a dated official notice. For matters involving a permit, current agenda or accessibility request, use the contact details on the corresponding city page.

Saratoga News welcomes documented community information and corrections, with priority given to official records and named organizers.
