THE ALAMEDA WINE & ART FESTIVAL W
e’re glad we got to see and visit you at the Art and Wine Festival! Hopefully you were able to stop by the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Drysdale Properties booth and take a photo with Warren Buffett! The best celebration of the summer, Alameda’s 35th Art and Wine Festival, clearly will hold its title as the Best Event in Alameda. The free street festival was home to 250 artisans, festival foods, craft wine and beer, and live music! Locals and tourists flooded the streets of Alameda over the weekend of July 27th and enjoyed everything the festival had to offer. All proceeds from the Art & Wine Festival help the Downtown Association accomplish its goals and objectives of keeping the district economically sustainable and thriving for businesses, the community, and visitors. A portion of beverage sales are placed in a special fund for projects that help keep Downtown Alameda clean, green, and safe for all to enjoy.
Each day offered continuous music, many laughs, and valuable community support. The local musical talent stole the show, some of the favorite artists included: The Spazmatics, an 80’s New Wave Show, Drew Harrison, local singer/ songwriter, and Lucid Rays, a classic rock band. The community kept their dancing shoes tied and hands clapping throughout the entire weekend. In addition to the musical talent, there were local crafts for sale and delicious food!
We asked a local resident about the event. Jennifer Nielsen stated, “The garlic fries were by far the best food item, but the whole event was amazing from start to finish. There was something fun to do for everyone in all walks of life. No one was bored!” Thank you Alameda, for a spectacular event. Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Drysdale Properties cannot wait to participate again next summer! n
