The Millbrae Chamber of Commerce welcomes you to the 37th annual Millbrae Art & Wine Festival. With over 200 artists, 20 food vendors, great live entertainment, a fantastic children’s area, and five locations along Broadway to purchase your favorite beverage we are certain that there is something for everyone at this year’s festival!
Every year the festival committee works hard to improve the event. This year, you will see a new and improved Margarita King Cantina, located in the Farmers Market parking lot. It is the place to go for a cold beverage and some lively entertainment. The committee has also brought in some wonderful new entertainment for the Kids’ Playland. And building on last year’s successful addition of the shuttle service from the Millbrae Station to the festival, El Rancho Inn & Suites will operate their shuttle bus on an even more frequent schedule.
Not only is the Art & Wine Festival a fun event to shop for unique, hand-made arts and crafts and to eat great food, but also it is a way for us to showcase Millbrae’s merchants, restaurants, and hotels. We encourage you to visit our stores and restaurants during and after the festival.
It is through the dedicated efforts of the Chamber’s Art & Wine Festival committee, all of the volunteers, and the City of Millbrae that we are able to once again bring you the Bay Area’s premier Labor Day Weekend event. Special thanks are due to the following people for their efforts in this year’s event: Sgt. Ron Caine (Police Services), Linda Maule (Block Captain Coordinator), Lee Clothakis (Volunteer Coordinator), and Karina Rivera and Eric Wong (Student Volunteer Coordinators).
We would also like to acknowledge the efforts of the Boy Scout Troop 355 who perform the trash collection and clean up services throughout the weekend and the Millbrae Police Explorers who provide traffic control services during the festival. Millbrae Community Television (MCTV) will, once again, be on site during the weekend doing live broadcasts from the festival – literally bringing the event into our residents’ homes.
The proceeds from the festival help fund the Chamber’s activities including business development, legislative and governmental affairs, scholarship programs, and a variety of community events. We invite you to visit our Information Booth located between Hillcrest and Taylor along the festival route to learn more about the Millbrae Chamber of Commerce.
Again we welcome you and hope you enjoy all that our festival offers. Please be kind to your pets and leave them in the comfort of their home. Put on some sunscreen, comfortable shoes and come enjoy the fun.
