The San Leonardo Cherry Festival will be returning this June. This popular event normally attracts approximately 10,000 visitors to the city each year.
The event will start off with a parade at 10:00 am. After, there is set to be plenty of food for purchase, a beer garden, and a Farmers' Market. Live entertainment will be provided by musical acts such as DJ Chuy Gomez, Evolution, the Latin Rhythm Boys, and En Vogue. Artisans will be selling a variety of handmade arts and crafts.
Children's activities will feature amusement rides, games, and other activities. There will also be a cherry bake-off in traditional and nontraditional categories. To enter, all participants need to do is bring a homemade cherry pie with them.
To help spread word about the event to nearby communities like Hayward, organizers are holding a poster contest for children from Kindergarten to Grade 8, although the deadline to submit is tomorrow, May 29. It is possible the winning entry may be reproduced by local printing companies and distributed in the community.
Another part of the festival sure to be warmly received is the Arts and Innovation Zone, which will feature demonstrations, new technology, and collaborative art.
The San Leonardo Cherry Festival will be held in Downtown San Leonardo on June 6 from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm. Admission is free. For more information, visit the City of San Leonardo website.
