The inside of the Community Center becomes a bustling Farmers’ Market with a Café and Food and Cooking Demos offered throughout the day. The BCC parking lot and Plaza area will be reserved for hot food vendors, BCC bar and a music stage with fabulous local bands. The park will offer a Kids Corner with games and Cob Oven Pizzas for sale which benefit the Community Center. 11am The Gardening Music Tribe will play in the park and we will also have a Kids Make Their Own Pizza Project 11am-1pm. Games (sack jumping, apple dunking etc.) will happen 1-3pm and we will most likely have horse rides with Five Brooks!

The Bolinas Community Center (BCC) continues to provide a welcoming facility for classes, events, social gatherings and recreation in the center of Downtown Bolinas. The focus of this year’s Food Festival is to showcase the local food talent in West Marin and to raise money for the BCC’s continued kitchen upgrade.
Once the kitchen is remodeled more food vendors will be able to use the space, cooking classes for youth and adults can be created and the whole community will benefit from having a fully functional and up-to-date Community Kitchen. Our goal is to raise $10,000.00. All proceeds from this event go to the BCC kitchen remodeling fund to update kitchen cabinetry, purchase an ice machine and retile the kitchen floor up-to-code.
Advertising:
We will be advertising in local papers, with flyers, and live on event-day with KWMR radio coverage. If you are a chef, food vendor or farmer and would like a live interview to promote your business please let us know ASAP so we can get you scheduled in.
Any questions or to volunteer, please respond by email or call Lia at (415) 868-2128 or email lia@bocenter.org.
Going Green!:

(Guidelines included here: Food_Fest_Green) We hope to vastly decrease non-recycled waste and eliminate the use of disposable plastic on site.
