Novato Festival of Art, Wine & Music

The Novato Festival of Art, Wine & Music has been a mainstay of the North Bay community for 38 years.

We successfully navigated last year’s challenges and provided a safe outdoor event to see your friends and neighbors.

This year’s event will return the third weekend in June this year on Saturday and Sunday, June 18 and 19.

Presented by the Novato Chamber of Commerce and produced by Eckerstrom Productions, the free festival includes live music, vendor booths, food, craft beer and premium wines. The fun begins both days at 11 a.m., culminating on Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 6 p.m.

Our Main Stage will be at the entrance of the festival, sponsored by Hennessy Funds, located at Grant Avenue and Redwood Boulevard.

The music lineup includes Petty Theft, Mustache Harbor, Heartless, AZ/DZ, Cat Fight, Spike Sikes and His Awesome Hotcakes, and others.  Times can be found below.

Of course, there is a wide selection of wine and microbrews, as well as a large array of festival food from the popular teriyaki chicken kebobs, crab fries, and corn dogs, to snow cones, turkey legs, tri-tip and kettle corn.

This year will also feature refreshing margaritas brought to you by Sabe Beverages.

Commemorative beer & wine glasses are available for $6, sponsored by Bank of Marin, Thompson Builders and Atria Tamalpais Creek.

The popular Piccolo Puppet Show, featuring 3 shows of Punch & Judy style puppet shows will be back for the kids, as well as a bungee jump, and the waterballz, in the children’s area sponsored by Community Action Marin & North Marin Community Services.
