Almaden Seniors Spring Luncheon 2026

The Almaden Senior Association is hosting its Almaden Seniors Luncheon and Parrot Show on Saturday, May 9, 2026, from 2:00 to 4:00 PM at the Almaden Community Center. This year’s theme, “Spring Takes Flight,” sets the tone for an afternoon that brings together good food, live animal entertainment, and the kind of neighborly gathering that makes Almaden such a welcoming place to call home.

Live Entertainment from the Happy Birds Parrot Show

The afternoon’s entertainment features a live performance by the Happy Birds Parrot Show. The show is described as engaging and interactive, giving attendees a chance to see trained parrots up close. It’s the sort of lighthearted, community-friendly programming that the Almaden Senior Association has long been known for bringing to the neighborhood.

The Spring Luncheon Menu

A sit-down luncheon is included as part of the event. The menu features:

Mains & Sides
Carved Baked Ham, Lemon Roasted Chicken, Scalloped Potatoes, Pasta Primavera

Extras
Roasted Vegetables, Spring Lettuce Salad, Fresh Fruits, Dinner Rolls

Tickets and Contact Information

Tickets are $25.00 per person and are available at the Almaden Community Center lobby on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays between 8:00 and 10:00 AM. For questions, contact Jennifer at 408-757-4536.

A Community Worth Celebrating

Events like this one are a reminder of what makes Almaden a special place to live. The Almaden Senior Association has been an active part of the community for years, organizing programs and gatherings that connect neighbors across generations. The Almaden Seniors Luncheon and Parrot Show is one of those occasions — casual, friendly, and genuinely fun — that reflect the character of this neighborhood at its best.
