Las Posadas

Las Posadas, a holiday tradition, has been produced by the FCAC and sponsored by the Old Mission San Jose in Fremont annually since 1982. Join us as we celebrate the advent season and the 40th anniversary of this tradition with performances by local musical artists for 9 nights beginning December 15.

We have a variety of performances donated by the following artists especially for this year’s event.
