Brengle Terrace, located at 1200 Vale Terrace, will be filled with 200 vendors that will represent international “villages” offering arts & crafts, delicious food and cultural drinks from around the world. Two stages showcasing Live Music, Arts, Dance and more will perform throughout the day. Stage performances will begin at 11:00 am. A special treat for all beer enthusiasts featuring local breweries will take place in the Beer Garden.
There is no cost for admission to the festival, but there is a charge at the various vendor’s booths. The Vista Rotary Club is looking for volunteers, sponsors, vendors, donations and groups that would like to perform.
