With the top local bands, the best local award-winning wines, and the best local & regional artists, we've got it all at Los Gatos Art & Wine, Fiesta 2024. It 's no wonder that we are winners in multiple categories of the Metro each year!

When KTVU sent down their crew to do an exclusive feature about Los Gatos, we got the call!! They interviewed our fearless leader, Rusty Rinehart, and talked about the wonderful Los Gatos Art & Wine Festival (Fiesta de Artes) as being the true definition of COMMUNITY!
The readers of the Bay Area News Group's newspapers in the West Valley region (Los Gatos, Saratoga, Cuptertino & Campbell) voted us their FAVORITE FESTIVAL!
We really are feelin' the love! Thank you!
We also won in a few more categories, such as Favorite Philanthropic Organization, Favorite Non-Profit and Favorite Social Organization. When good people come together to do good things, it shows. That includes every single person that is part of this wonderful Community Event: from the great musicians to the artists & vendors; the wineries to the extensive list of volunteers; the food trucks to the fabulous sponsors. It's all for the kids and we appreciate each and every one of you!
In keeping with our innovative, forward thinking style, we have expanded the weekend long event to include an entirely new section devoted solely to green and sustainable organizations, products and innovations. Anchored by one of our fabulous sponsors, Silicon Valley Clean Energy, they will have their brand new state-of-the-art home to showcase sustainability in its finest form! Our e-bike sponsor, ELV Motors, will be showcasing their beautiful variety of electric bicycles. Additional sponsors, such as Cinnamon Energy, SYMBiHOM , SpareTheAir & FarmFreshToYou will round out the 'zone', along with a Green Lounge Area with additional fun things to do, see, and get inspired about!

To top off the whole year, our event was chosen to represent all of California, Hawaii and Nevada in the 2023-2024 Kiwanis International Signature Project Competition! This contest draws Kiwanis Clubs around the globe to compete for the honor - projects such as Special Games for specially-abled kids in Silicon Valley, Centers for Autism in Malaysia and more. Why was an art & wine festival chosen, you might ask? It's because of the sense of community, the involvement of all age-levels of volunteers, the coming together of a committed group of people who simply want to do good in the community and beyond. The kids (High School Key Clubs) raise money & awareness for Pediatric Trauma Programs, local food banks & regional disaster relief, while the adults (Kiwanis Club of Los Gatos) raise money to support local youth programs. Everything from Special Games to scholarships for at-risk youth, student-run leadership & community service clubs at the local schools and everything in between. It's an all-volunteer run event and EVERY SINGLE PENNY goes back into the community to help kids.
Pretty cool, eh?
Nestled in the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains and on the edge of Silicon Valley...20 minutes to the beach...2 minutes to the closest winery...walking distance to fantastic restaurants...not to mention excellent shopping, people watching, farmers markets and more...Los Gatos is a great place to live and a wonderful place to visit.
Los Gatos has charm and is just as close to the heart of Silicon Valley as its competition up the peninsula (Palo Alto) but is closer to the coast and Monterey/Carmel. There are numerous world class wineries nearby, not to mention great sports teams (San Jose Sharks Hockey and 49ers Football) - all that, and only 1 hour to downtown San Francisco. Los Gatos even has a nationally reknowned bicyling club (LGBRC) and the Cat's Hill Classic is an annual event where the likes of Greg LeMond and Davis Phinney have raced. It is also home to the oldest Children's Christmas Parade in the country! And, on top of all of that, Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe stayed here right after they were married in San Francisco!
