To Our Friends and Supporters of the Capitola Art & Wine Festival,
With a heavy heart, the Capitola-Soquel Chamber of Commerce board of directors and festival organizers have made the decision to cancel the 38th annual Capitola Art & Wine Festival, scheduled for September 12 & 13, 2020 in Capitola Village.
The decision was postponed for as long as possible, however due to health and safety issues concerning COVID-19, we must do what’s best for our friends, family, artists, wineries, vendors, volunteers and community.
For 37 years, the good vibe of the Capitola Art & Wine Festival has brought together friends and family for a magical weekend of exquisite art, wine, music and culinary treats, beside the beach in beautiful Capitola Village. It’s truly our favorite weekend of the year, and breaks our heart to miss spending it with you.
In addition to being a treasured community event, the festival is the number one fundraiser supporting the Capitola-Soquel Chamber of Commerce, a nonprofit 501(c)(6) organization, as well as the many local school and community groups that assist with the production of the festival. Cancellation presents a significant financial loss, and festival organizers plan to create a virtual event to support the chamber, and future of the festival, as well as the artists, wineries, and vendors that help make the event so special.
We will miss you, and if seeing you virtually is the only way, then by golly, we’ll take it! Follow both the Capitola Art & Wine Festival and Capitola-Soquel Chamber of Commerce on Facebook and Instagram at the links below.
Save the date, as we plan to be back next year with an epic Capitola Art & Wine Festival, scheduled for September 11 & 12, 2021.
And remember … there will once again be festivals and celebrations. Hold on to that … we are! Until then, stay healthy, stay safe, buy art and drink wine!
