Connoisseurs' Marketplace
about this festival

 

July 21 & 22, 2007 • 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. • Santa Cruz Avenue, Menlo Park
 

The festival, sponsored by the Menlo Park Chamber of Commerce, is now celebrating its twenty-first year and attracts over 50,000 people every year. Menlo Park—a city 30 miles south of San Francisco—is a mix of beautiful residences from the past along with magnificent homes of the future.

During July, the weather is usually very hot, but Santa Cruz Avenue's tree-lined streets helps to lower the temperature.

A key ingredient to the success of the festival is the high quality art and crafts being displayed. Also making an appearance for the seventh straight successful year is Gourmet Alley: one street dedicated to the sampling and purchasing of specialty foods that are ready-to-go.

Street and stage entertainment can be also be found throughout the festival plus the ever-popular kids' activity area on University Drive.

This festival has approximately 30% fine art, 30% contemporary crafts and 40% traditional crafts.
