Santa Clara Art & Wine Festival 2025

The 43rd Santa Clara Art & Wine Festival, sponsored by the City of Santa Clara, features 170 artist and craft booths, tantalizing food, local wine, and live entertainment. The festival is held in Santa Clara's beautiful Central Park along winding paths and trailing wisteria vines on September 13 & 14, 2025 (9/13: 10 a.m.-6 p.m. and 9/14: 10 a.m.-5 p.m.). The festival has drawn more than 50,000 guests each year, where proceeds benefit local charities.

The festival is open to artists and crafts persons selling handmade arts & crafts using original designs. No imports, kits or mass-produced items will be considered. Selection is based on originality, quality, presentation and number of exhibitors alloted to each category. Applications will be juried after March 1 and June 1, 2025, depending on date received. Artists will be notified of acceptance or rejection within 30 days of the jury's decision. Required photographs include five photographs of your work depicting variety and quality, one photograph of your booth, and three stages of production in your workshop/studio.

Each space is approximately 10' by 12' with 170 artist booths located on the walkways throughout the park. Sellers must provide their own booth, tables and chairs. Electricity is not available. Jury fee is $20.00 per category (non-refundable) and booth fee is $310.00 per space (to be paid upon entrance to the festival). Double booths are available at $310 for each 10'X12' space. All work must be hand-carted to the assigned artist booth from the parking lot, and free parking for one vehicle will be provided to vendors.
