The Grinch Struck Again

The Grinch struck again — and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

For another year, the 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼 𝗩𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗮𝘀 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 brought together hundreds from across Castro Valley to kick off the holiday season. While Santa’s arrival was the highlight (as always), the Grinch 𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯 managed to steal the show — in the best way possible.

From local performers and school groups to merchants, restaurants, and first responders, the evening captured everything that makes this community special.

We’re proud to continue our nearly 20-year partnership with Crosspoint Realty Services, Inc. — supporting their vision for retail places that 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 to the people they serve. Events like this one remind us that when you build for connection, the results go far beyond attendance numbers.

A heartfelt thank you to the Crosspoint team — Carter Hemming, Courtney Jones, Kathy (Shearer) DeOchoa, Kara A., 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹 — for another incredible season of collaboration and community.

Here’s to the traditions that keep growing, and to a Grinch who keeps the spirit bright.
