Pacific Coast Fog Fest and 1st Annual Sand Castle Contest September 26, 2009

The Pacific Coast Fog Fest was created in 1986 to promote Pacifica and to celebrate our marvelous coastal climate. The last full weekend of September was chosen because historically the weather is unbeatable. The Fog Fest is a two-day music and arts & crafts event, with over 150 arts and crafts booths, 3 stages of top quality live entertainment, and plenty of tasty food and drink to please any appetite.

This year this outstanding event takes place on September 26th and 27th. As in the past, we will showcase some of the very best artists in the greater Bay Area, both in the arts and crafts booths and in the music venues. Our creative celebration of sun, sand and surf that defines life on the coast will once again present a host of activities.

This year we are thrilled to announce that we will feature the first annual Sand Castle and Sand Sculpture Contest. This is a chance for your family, group or organization to use your creativity, have fun, enjoy the sun and build the sand castle of your dreams during the Pacific Coast Fog Fest No experience is necessary and amateur teams are welcome!

The sponsoring business will receive on-site advertising and acknowledgements during the festival and in public announcements in Peninsula newspapers.
