Memorial Day, and the day's center of gravity is the observances. Campbell holds its ceremony at City Hall at 9 AM, Los Gatos runs a downtown celebration at noon. The rest of the holiday Monday calendar runs light, so the morning is the part to actually plan around.
Today's field guide
A Memorial Day morning, Campbell to Los Gatos
The morning is the real plan: the 9 AM ceremony at Campbell City Hall, then south for lunch and the noon Memorial Day celebration in downtown Los Gatos. The Sunnyvale breakfast and the Santa Clara and San Jose picks for later are standalone options if you want them, not part of one loop.
