Santa Clara Art & Wine Festival 2026
The 44th Annual Santa Clara Art Wine Festival (Sept 19‑20, 2026) is a free, family‑friendly fundraiser supporting local nonprofits. It showcases over 170 artisan booths featuring leather goods, scented candles, lotions, ceramics, photography, custom jewelry, paintings, wine‑related items, hats, glassware, and specialty foods. New this year is the Maker’s Meadow, highlighting handcrafted goods and DIY activities. Live entertainment spans two stages with a mix of youth bands, salsa, jazz, rock, pop, and top‑40 acts. The Kids Kingdom offers carnival games, performances, and arts‑and‑craft workshops. Beverage offerings include premium wines (e.g., Qvevri Wine Georgia, 2024‑2025 selections) and a curated craft‑beer list from regional breweries. Food vendors represent a wide array of local groups, from scout troops to community clubs, serving items like tacos, fried oreos, BBQ, and shaved ice. Additional attractions include a library art scavenger hunt, quilling workshop, and a FIFA World Cup countdown clock. Parking is limited with bike‑watch services, paid lots, and encouragement of alternative transportation. All proceeds benefit Santa Clara charities such as the Police Activities League and local school foundations.
