The
Pleasanton Harvest Festival, happening September 18-20 at the Alameda County
Fairgrounds, is ringing in the fall shopping season by offering attendees
thousands of unique, handcrafted gifts in a fun and festive setting.
The
Harvest Festival is a one-of-a-kind event that offers shoppers the chance to
browse thousands of American handmade arts and crafts, including original art,
clothing, blown glass, ceramics, photography, specialty foods and more. Guests can
visit hundreds of booths, getting their purchases personalized and meeting the
artists who individually made each product.
For
the first time ever, the Harvest Festival will offer a free admission to the
first 100 people in line each day, so be sure to get there early!
Throughout
the weekend there is fabulous, continual live entertainment at the outdoor
stage. John Park will be performing his popular "Funny Waiter" show
where he spins plates and has the audience participating in his hilarious
tricks, and the Hot Rods Band will get the crowd on their feet and dancing with
their tribute to early rock and roll hits of the 50's and 60's. Plus, strolling
entertainers wander the grounds, entertaining and interacting with festival attendees.
This
year, the Pleasanton Harvest Festival is proud to welcome its new official
charity, the Crown Monarchs Youth Cheer and Dance Team. The Crown Monarchs are
a non-profit competitive cheer team from Brentwood whose purpose is to promote
athletic participation in cheerleading and dance, as well as foster the
physical, mental and moral development of young girls. The organization will
receive half of the proceeds from all shopping bags sold at the event and will
also be hosting the interactive KidZone this year.
The Pleasanton
Harvest Festival® is once again supporting the Alameda County Community Food
Bank by offering $2 off admission to anyone who brings a monetary donation or
non-perishable food items to the show. The Alameda County Community Food Bank
serves 1 in 5 residents living throughout Alameda County and distributes enough
food for 380,000 meals each week.
The
Harvest Festivals were recognized as one of the top craft shows in the United
States by Sunshine Artist Magazine
and are the largest indoor arts and crafts show on the West Coast.
