The 10th Annual Crockett Art & Wine Festival is a wonderful summertime event that brings talented artists and craftspeople, delicious food, and exhilarating live entertainment together in one convenient location!

The Festival will happen right in the heart of downtown Crockett on Pomona Street, between Crockett Boulevard and Third Avenue. Crockett is an undiscovered gem of a community set on the banks of the Carquinez Strait. Originally built as a company town for C&H Sugar, the delicate Victorians and beautiful Craftsman homes of this urban village now house photographers, musicians, sculptors, and artists of various disciplines. Old-time Crockett residents in this traditionally Italian community have formed what is quite likely the largest bocce league in small town America.

The annual Crockett Art & Wine Festival captures this distinctive flavor with a delightful celebration of the town's quirky and fun personality. Showcasing approximately fifty fine artists of diverse disciplines and drawing thousands of attendees, the Festival also features diverse multicultural music and dance. Great jazz, blues, big band, Japanese Taiko drums by the San Francisco Taiko Dojo, and Brazilian music add to the international flavor. In addition to the outstanding art and exceptional music, the Festival offers great food from a variety of vendors and downtown businesses, wonderful coffee and pastries, and fine wines for purchase and tastings. At the end of each day, guests can dine at one of the towns fabulous restaurants, enjoying great views of the waterfront and the beautiful new Carquinez Bridge while reflecting on their wonderful festival experience.

The Crockett Art & Wine Festival is produced by the Crockett Arts Alliance. The Alliance is a non-profit arts education organization, providing workshops in performing and visual arts to youth and adults. Dont miss this opportunity to experience one of the Bay Areas premiere festivals!
