Tri-Valley Mourning the Loss of Alexis Posada

The Tri-Valley community is mourning the loss of Alexis Posada, son of local restaurant owner Eduardo Posada of Posada Alta Cocina.

I had the chance to know Alexis, and what I’ll always remember most is his passion, warmth, and vibrant personality.

He had a way of making people feel welcome, and his energy left an impression on so many who knew him.

My heart is with Eduardo, the Posada family, and everyone who loved Alexis during this unimaginable time.

He will be deeply missed, and his beautiful spirit will continue to live on through the many lives he touched.

Shakespeare in the Vineyard is BACK this July!

SPARC Theater’s Shakespeare in the Vineyard is back for its 20th summer, and this year they’re bringing Hamlet to Darcie Kent Vineyards.

The outdoor performances run July 2–26, with all shows starting at 7:30pm.

There’s also a new Shakespeare Happy Hour at 6pm, so you can come early, bring a picnic, sip Darcie Kent wine, and enjoy a summer night under the stars.

A very Livermore way to experience one of Shakespeare’s most famous stories.
