The admission-free 33rd annual Fremont Festival of the Arts returns to Paseo Padre Parkway and Walnut Avenue in downtown Fremont on August 6 & 7 from 10am – 6pm. The largest street festival west of the Mississippi will feature entertainment and activities for all ages to enjoy, including more than 600 artisan booths, live music on two stages, street performers, an international array of gourmet cuisine, food trucks and tasty beverages, and a special kids area with rides and shows.
The Fremont Festival of the Arts is sponsored by the Fremont Chamber of Commerce and includes over 600 booths filled with unique, one-of-a-kind pieces, not easily found elsewhere. From paintings and drawings, to jewelry and clothing, to household decorations and furnishing, every piece of beautiful art sold at the Fremont Festival of the Arts is handmade.
The Fremont Festival of the Arts also features culinary artistry at the Gourmet Marketplace, where dozens of vendors offer a selection of specialty food items and cooking ingredients. Event goers can find ingredients and condiments ranging from unique rubs, spice blends and marinades, to designer oils and vinegars, to flavorful chutneys and relishes. They will be tempted by handmade pastas and jerkies, varietal honeys, seasoned and candied nuts, and a wide variety of delectable desserts. There’s something to delight every palate in Gourmet Marketplace. Plus wine, beer and margaritas are $5 with the purchase of a $6 festival-branded glass. There will even be fun kids cups for slushies.
From funnel cakes to Philly Cheese Steaks, the Festival will offer a wide variety of delicious eats. Best of all, many of the food booths are actually run by non-profit organizations who use the Festival as one of their major fundraising sources each year. In addition, the festival will feature gourmet food trucks on site with a portion of their proceeds going to area nonprofits. Over the past three decades, an estimated $9 million has been raised at the Festival for the local communities.
To keep the youngest patrons happy and entertained, Paseo Padre Parkway (near Capitol) will be transformed into Kid City with activities and performers just for kids. Kid City will feature magicians, jugglers, balloon animals, carnival rides, arts & crafts and so much more.
The Fremont Festival of the Arts will take place on Saturday, August 6 and Sunday, August 7 between 10:00am and 6:00pm in downtown Fremont, on Paseo Padre Parkway and Walnut Avenue. Admission is free. For more information and an updated list of vendors and entertainment, visit the Festival website: http://www.fremontfestival.net.
