One of the largest annual festivals in Contra Costa County – The Lafayette Art & Wine Festival – will return to downtown Lafayette on Saturday, Sept. 19 (10 a.m. to 7 p.m.) and Sunday, Sept. 20 (10 a.m. to 6 p.m.). The Festival will include its signature arts and crafts booths, wonderful food offerings from local restaurants and food trucks, as well as wines and microbrews, the famous Kid Zones, and free live music situated throughout the downtown area.

    While admission and BART parking are free, the Kid Zones require purchasing tickets for the rides and activities, and wine/beer glasses and drink tickets will be sold throughout the festival. Only the current year's glasses and tickets will be accepted and you must be 21 years of age to purchase glasses, drink tickets and be served.

    Last year’s festival, which is sponsored by the Lafayette Chamber of Commerce, welcomed over 65,000 people to the event.
    The Visitor’s Guide, the music schedule, and more information about Family Fun, can be found on the Lafayette Chamber website: https://lafayettefestival.com/.
