Sun-drenched Sunnyvale
Like most of the San Francisco Bay Area, Sunnyvale enjoys sultry summers and mild winters. A string of festivals sweep Silicon Valley in the summer, with Sunnyvale hosting some of the quirkiest instalments. Don’t miss C.J. Olson’s Annual Cherry Festival in late May and the Sunnyvale Art & Wine Festival in early June. NFL season runs from September to February and sees legions of fans descend on Levi’s Stadium. If you want to stay local you’ll need to book well in advance as the city fills up fast.
Nature and relaxation in Sunnyvale
Sunnyvale may be part of the uber-corporate Silicon Valley region, but it doesn’t scrimp on green space. The city is dotted with public parks, including the lush Las Palmas Park and Washington Park in the heart of the downtown core. You can also venture further afield to the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge which serves as a haven for water birds. Nearby Stevens Creek is another great place to stretch your legs, with trails that attract joggers, cyclists, and dog walkers.
