Taiwan, Food, Seniors and the Cricket World Cup

An anniversary show and a talent show, a push for seniors to engage, a fabulous food festival and a chance to watch the Cricket World Cup.

Here's what we've got going on for you: The Cricket World Cup is happening Saturday, but you don't have to leave Cupertino to see it.

However, if you are over the age of 50, you might want to drive over to neighboring Los Altos for a special event.

There's also a chance to see a Taiwanese anniversary show—whew!—and if you are hungry after all this, check out the food truck festival in San Jose.

Where/When: India Community Center, 525 Los Coches St., Milpitas. Time is yet to be determined, and you have to go online to register to attend.

Why Go:  It's like the soccer or football world cup—or the World Series. Only it's cricket. Think what you would have done if you were not in Philadelphia or San Francisco for the World Series. You might have sought out a TV with like-minded fans. That's what Milpitas' India Community Center offers for the Cricket World Cup. Time to be determined, but bring a pillow—it will be early Saturday morning.
