Once again, Fiesta de Artes will fill the Civic Center grounds on Saturday and Sunday, August 10th and 11th, 2002 to present the Town of Los Gatos' one and only art and wine festival. A tradition for over 30 years, the 2002 Fiesta is sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Los Gatos. With the departure of the Strawberry Festival, the Fiesta is the town's remaining venue for artisans, vintners, micro-brewers, entertainers and merchants to gather and celebrate with visitors from all over the San Francisco Bay Area.

Fiesta de Artes will attract tens of thousands of visitors each year to the historic Town of Los Gatos for two days of music, art, food and wine. The non-stop entertainment includes live bands, local talent, and over 150 quality vendors. Collectors and first-time visitors alike appreciate each year's custom-designed commemorative wine glasses that the Kiwanis Club sells to benefit local charities.

"We Build" ~ The Kiwanis Club of Los Gatos celebrated its 75th anniversary in 1999. A member of Kiwanis International, the club is dedicated to the principles of altruistic service and the building of better communities. Specifically, the Los Gatos organization helps by offering scholarships, building school playgrounds, maintaining bike trails and aiding seniors. Other non-profit organizations (including DART, and Volunteers in Policing) participate in the Fiesta by providing volunteers as well as in raising community awareness of their various activities.

In previous years, supporters have included national firms, award-winning wineries such as Byington, Cooper-Garrod and Troquato and Los Gatos Brewing. This year's sponsors will include: Stoddards Brewhouse, Byington Winery, Bonny Doon Vineyard, J. Lohr and Troqu ato Vineyards with Radio Stations Mix 106.5 and B-94.5.

There are many ways to participate, including: Sponsorship Funding, recognized in Fiesta advertising and at the event; in-kind products or services (which helps raise awareness of your company); and an Employee Volunteer Program to show community involvement. All funds raised at this event will be returned to the community.
