The
Pleasanton Harvest Festival® Original Art and Craft Show is descending upon the
Alameda Fairgrounds this weekend, September 19-21, boasting a wide array of unique
arts and crafts, exciting entertainment, kids activities, live music, and delicious
food.
The
Harvest Festival features thousands of handmade arts and crafts, including
jewelry, ceramics, blown glass, clothing, art and photography, specialty foods
and more. Attendees can browse hundreds of booths, getting purchases
personalized and meeting the artists who individually handcrafted each item.
Guests
can take a break from the shopping extravaganza to enjoy fabulous live
entertainment at the outdoor stage. This year, the Hot Rods Band, will take the
Harvest Festival stage for the first time playing classic oldies hits of the
50's and 60's. The Hot Rods Band covers the greatest era of rock and roll and will
transport the audience to a time of sock hops, beach parties and cruisin'
cars.
The Pleasanton
Harvest Festival® is proud to support 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 6 residents living throughout Alameda County, including the
Tri-Valley.
The
Oakley Raiders have been selected once again as the official show charity, and
the Harvest Festival will offer the non-profit youth sports organization half
of the proceeds from every shopping bag sold. The Oakley Raiders will also host
the interactive KidZone, which is an area for children to participate in
hands-on arts and crafts. Plus, New York Life will be onsite offering free
child ID kits.
The
Harvest Festivals were recognized as one of the top 200 craft shows in the
United States by Sunshine Artist Magazine

festivals, which take place in nine cities across California and Nevada, are

ABOUT THE HARVEST FESTIVAL ORIGINAL ART AND
CRAFT SHOW®:
The
Harvest Festivals began 42 years ago in San Francisco as a destination for
artists and craftspeople to gather and have a forum to sell their handmade
products. Today, the show has grown to encompass ten shows in the state of
California and Nevada and still continues its tradition by only featuring
handmade arts and crafts made in the United States. Each exhibitor is subject to a rigid jury
process to be selected as a featured artisan, ensuring a rich diversity and
high quality of all products sold. Attendees are able to directly interact with
the artists, watch crafting demonstrations, and can get many gifts
personalized. The Harvest Festivals, owned and managed by Western Exhibitors,
are the largest indoor arts and crafts show of its kind on the West Coast.
