Art & Wind Festival — San Ramon

San Ramon’s Art & Wind Festival is set for Memorial Day weekend, with two days of kites, art booths, food vendors and stage performances at Central Park. (sanramon.ca.gov) The city lists the 2026 festival for Sunday, May 24, and Monday, May 25, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. both days at Central Park, 12501 Alcosta Blvd. in San Ramon. (sanramon.ca.gov) San Ramon calls it an annual Memorial Day weekend event and says this year’s lineup includes fine arts, crafts, specialty food vendors, professional kite flyers and kite-making workshops for children. (sanramon.ca.gov) The festival is one of the city’s signature outdoor events, and organizers are pitching it as a regional draw in the East Bay rather than a small neighborhood fair. The city’s event materials describe entertainment on four stages and a program built around wind-themed attractions. (sanramon.ca.gov) That matters for visitors planning ahead because the event falls more than a month after the city’s April 17 news roundup, despite the “this weekend” framing in that broader update. The actual festival dates on the dedicated event page are May 24-25, 2026. (sanramon.ca.gov) Families can expect two Kids Zone activity areas with both free and paid options, including paper pinwheels, origami butterflies and birds, tiny parachutes and face painting. The city also lists amusement rides and activity vendors for children. (sanramon.ca.gov) Getting there will require some planning. The city says parking at the main festival lots costs $10, while valet bike parking on the Iron Horse Trail will be free. (sanramon.ca.gov) The festival will go on even if the weather turns. San Ramon’s event frequently asked questions page says the weekend is rain or shine, and leashed pets are allowed under park rules. (sanramon.ca.gov) For anyone deciding whether to make a day of it, the city has posted a separate event schedule and festival information pages as it fills in the final lineup for late May.
