Volunteers from the Bodega Bay community run our Festival.  Residents, their relatives and friends generously give of their time and talents to assist in making this two-day event fun for everyone. Proceeds  provide support for our schools, scholarships for students and ongoing support of community services.

The Festival is advertised on radio stations, newspapers and magazines throughout Northern California. Locally we utilize roadside signs, postcards, and flyers placed in local establishments. The Festival is a long-time tradition in Bodega Bay and many people return each year. It is a fun festival with music, entertainment, local food and crafts.
