Millbrae Celebrates 40th Annual Labor Day Weekend Festival, The “Last Blast of Summer”
Stellar Lineup of Music, Art, Food and Fun

Labor Day weekend includes affordable, local leisure options in the Bay Area’s always popular free-admission festival.   For some sun-splashed, Mardi Gras-style fun and a great entertainment value this Labor Day weekend, head over to lively downtown Millbrae for the huge Art & Wine Festival, coming up September 4-5. Every year, the last unofficial weekend of summer brings massive crowds to town for one of the Bay Area’s biggest Labor Day weekend events, transforming its delightful downtown streets into a resplendent sea of people and colorful tents. Stroll, browse, relax and enjoy a friendly and vibrant street fair with two days of stellar live music, gorgeous handcrafted work by 250 talented artists, fabulous food and wine, an organic and green products showcase, artisan specialty foods, home and garden exhibits, health and wellness displays, and a host of amusements for kids. The festival takes place on Broadway (1 block west of El Camino Real) between Victoria and Meadow Glen. Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days. Admission is free.
 

Location: On Broadway (one block west of El Camino Real), between Victoria Ave. and Meadow Glen, downtown Millbrae, California. From Highsway 101 or 280, take the Millbrae Avenue exit west to El Camino Real north. Free round trip shuttle service from the Millbrae BART/Caltrain station every 20 minutes

Millbrae Art & Wine Festival is considered one of the premier community festivals in Northern California. With attendance in excess of 100,000 every year, and an exceptional lineup that features 250 arts and crafts vendors, 25 food purveyors, and stellar music and entertainment for grown-ups and kids, the festival is the largest annual fund-raiser for the Millbrae Chamber.

Millbrae’s 21,000 residents live quietly in tidy neighborhoods gently cradled in the sun-warmed hills that separate the Pacific Ocean from the San Francisco Bay. This is land that long ago was graced by dairy farms and the summer homes of some of San Francisco’s wealthiest families, including the fabulous estate of Ogden Mills.

Incorporated in January 1948, Millbrae’s economic community has been stable for over two decades with an average of 400 businesses, including several major hotels and branch offices of leading financial institutions. Despite being one of the county’s smaller cities, it boasts regional political clout. The churches and schools reflect local pride and the charming Main Street and central business district is so “typical” that it could easily serve as a small town movie set.
