San Ramon Art & Wind Festival

San Ramon’s Art & Wind Festival is set for Sunday, May 24, and Monday, May 25, with two days of kite flying, art booths, food and live entertainment at Central Park. (sanramon.ca.gov) The city says the festival will run from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. both days at 12501 Alcosta Blvd. in San Ramon. The event falls on Memorial Day weekend and returns to the city’s Central Park. (sanramon.ca.gov) City event pages list fine arts, crafts and specialty food vendors alongside professional kite flyers, kite-making workshops for children and other family activities. San Ramon also says the festival will have entertainment on four stages. (sanramon.ca.gov) The Art & Wind Festival is one of San Ramon’s signature civic events and the city describes it as an annual Memorial Day weekend tradition. A Chamber of Commerce listing and city materials both frame it as a regional draw in the East Bay. (sanramon.ca.gov; sanramon.org) The festival’s setup also shows how the city is planning for large crowds. San Ramon says parking at the main festival lots will cost $10, while valet bike parking on the Iron Horse Trail will be free. (sanramon.ca.gov) Parking lots listed by the city include Bishop Ranch 1, Bishop Ranch 3, Bishop Ranch 15 and Iron Horse Middle School, with Americans with Disabilities Act parking at San Ramon City Hall. The city’s festival frequently spreads activity across Central Park and nearby access points because the site sits at Bollinger Canyon Road and Alcosta Boulevard. (sanramon.ca.gov; sanramon.ca.gov) San Ramon has posted a separate event schedule page for performances and activities, and the April 17 city update directs visitors there for the latest details. For families planning the weekend, the basic outline is already fixed: two days, six hours each day, and a park built around kites, vendors and live shows. (sanramon.ca.gov; sanramon.ca.gov)
