The Pleasanton Harvest Festival, September 16-18 at the Alameda County Fairgrounds, is returning to the Tri Valley, bringing with it over 24,000 handmade arts and crafts.
The Harvest Festival Original Art and Craft Show is a one-of-a-kind shopping event that gives attendees the opportunity to browse thousands of American handmade arts and crafts, including original art, jewelry, clothing, ceramics, photography, specialty foods and much more. Shoppers can visit hundreds of booths and meet each artist, often getting a personalized touch added to their purchase.
Throughout the weekend there will be fresh, new music and entertainment. Appearing for the first time on the Harvest Festival stage is the Pierce Avenue, a country music duo that blends vocal harmonies with off the rails guitar strumming. Made up of husband and wife Tony and Jaime Pierce, all of Pierce Avenue's music is rooted in passion and real life experience. And back by popular demand is the Hot Rods Band, getting the crowd on their feet and dancing with early rock and roll hits of the 50's and 60's. Plus, strolling entertainers will be wandering the grounds, entertaining and interacting with festival attendees.
The Pleasanton Harvest Festival's official non-profit partner is 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 and will also host the interactive KidZone this year.
The Alameda County Community Food Bank will also be returning to host a Food Drive. The Harvest Festival® will offer a $2 off admission to anyone who brings a non-perishable food item to the show.
