Cupertino’s October 28 Community Service Awards Are Sold Out: Venue, Schedule and What the City Will Recognize

CUPERTINO, Santa Clara County — October 25, 2026. Cupertino plans its third annual Community Service Awards ceremony on Wednesday, October 28, recognizing people and groups that have contributed to the community. The city’s published information says the gathering will honor its 2026 CREST Award winners and city commissioners who completed service on boards and committees.

Where and when?

The event is scheduled for the Quinlan Community Center, 10185 North Stelling Road, Cupertino. Doors are expected to open at 5:30 p.m., with the program starting at 6 p.m. The city events calendar lists a broader 5:30–8 p.m. window. The city says the event is free but the official Community Service Awards information currently indicates that registration is sold out and closed. Anyone without an RSVP should not assume walk-in admission is available.

What is being celebrated?

CREST stands for Cupertino Recognizes Extra Steps Taken. The program recognizes civic and volunteer contributions. The city’s official announcement describes the third annual ceremony as recognizing both award recipients and commissioners who have volunteered their time in municipal service. The city page lists the 2026 honorees and their involvement; the recognition should not be confused with a government grant or a hiring award.

Other upcoming city meetings

Residents looking for separate public meetings can consult Cupertino’s televised meeting schedule. That schedule currently marks the October 27 Planning Commission broadcast as canceled, even though an older general meeting listing still shows the date. Anyone planning to participate should consult the official agenda and updated notice rather than relying on an unchanged recurring calendar listing.

For awards information and possible last-minute changes, use the city’s event calendar and official Community Service Awards page.
