The Kiwanis Club of Los Gatos hosted its 25th annual Los Gatos Art and Wine Festival, or Fiesta De Artes, from Sept. 18 to 19 on the Civic Center Lawn. The event featured dozens of art vendors, live music played by local musicians, food trucks, and alcoholic beverages. The Joint Chiefs Band headlined on Saturday, and the Houserockers “rocked the house” on Sunday. During the event, the Kiwanis Club raised thousands of dollars towards turnaround scholarships for at-risk youth with the help of sponsors like Cutco and Alameda Family Funeral and Cremation, as well as beverage partners like Testarossa Winery and J. Lohr Vineyards and Wines. Beloved food trucks like Kona Ice and Fire and Rice provided a variety of delicious eats. High schoolers from the LGHS branch of the Kiwanis family, Los Gatos Key Club, helped out at the event by setting up and fundraising. Below are a series of photos from the event!
