The Grapevine Festival will again feature artists and crafters, commercial vendors, local businesses, food vendors, and a Beer Garden. There will be live entertainment in front of the Mission Playhouse throughout the day, and a Fine Art Show in Grapevine Park.
In Plaza Park, we will host the 2nd annual Classic Car Show, with both foreign and domestic automobiles on display. Scott Bowles of Formula 1 Collision Center is chairing the Car Show and looks forward to another great turn out of cars.
Another new element to next year’s festival will be a special Wine Tasting event. This will require a ticket and will be held in the historic Grapevine Park.
“This festival continues to be a partnership between the City of San Gabriel and the Chamber of Commerce. We changed the name to the Grapevine Festival in honor of our city’s rich history. We have three historic grapevines in San Gabriel: the Mission, Grapevine Park and at Mission 261. We look forward to celebrating the uniqueness of San Gabriel with both our citizens and visitors from all over the valley,” stated Diane.
If you would like to participate as a vendor, or help as a volunteer, please contact the Chamber office, (626) 576-2525.
