About this event
A two-day summer street festival closing off Main and State Streets in downtown Los Altos, pairing about 300 fine art and handcrafted booths with local wineries, a distillery and beer service, live music and a kids' zone. The Los Altos Village Association hosts it and Pacific Fine Arts Festivals handles the artist booths. Artists must make their work by hand in the USA, and selected vendors sell outdoors on the closed streets among large festival crowds.
