Festival Details and Location
The festival will take place from 10am to 7pm on September 20 and 10am to 6pm on September 21.

With over 250 artist and craft booths, the festival offers a wide range of items from fine art and jewelry to woodworking, clothing, ceramics, and more. For food enthusiasts, there are over 30 local food vendors and restaurants serving a variety of food options within the festival footprint.
Music and Entertainment
Music is a significant part of the festival, with over 20 live bands performing on four stages. Some of the returning bands include The Sun Kings (Beatles/'60s), East Bay Mudd (funk/R&B), and new bands like Jimbo Scott & Yesterday's Biscuits (country-swing group). The festival also offers four Kid Zones with rides, games, and activities for all ages, as well as kid-friendly, hyper-local entertainment on the Community Stage.
Supporting the Community
Proceeds from the festival support Lafayette Partners in Education (LPIE) and other nonprofits. Purchasing a wine glass or local beer at the festival helps support local schools and organizations. Last year's festival earnings gave over $90,000 to schools and charities.
