Online, September 26, 2012 (Newswire.com) - The Sacramento Harvest Festival returns to Cal Expo, November 16-18, to offer Sacramento area residents the best Holiday shopping, showcasing hundreds of vendors, exciting entertainment, unique food inspiration for Thanksgiving, and much more.
The Harvest Festivals are the largest indoor arts and crafts shows on the West Coast, boasting over 24,000 unique handmade gifts that are all made in America. Guests can browse jewelry, clothing, fine art and photography, pottery, toys, home decor and more, all while mingling with the artists that create each piece.
Throughout the weekend there is high-energy live entertainment, including the Bad Catz and Cash Tribute, a Johnny Cash tribute band. There will also be the usual strolling entertainers such as Washboard Willy, Mama Claus and Eddie the Elf and WC Willy dressed as an elf and hovering high above the festival on his stilts.
The official charity of the Sacramento Harvest Festival® are the AT&T Pioneers, a volunteer network that helps local communities by aiding educational programs, running local food drives, assisting after natural disasters, and much more. The AT&T Pioneers will receive half of the proceeds from shopping bag sales, as well as all the proceeds from the bag and parcel check and the gift wrapping station.
Elk Grove Food Bank Services will also be onsite at the front of the entrance and will give a $2 off discount admission to anyone who brings a non-perishable food donation to the event.
Nature of Art for Kids, a company offering non toxic and eco friendly art supplies, will be hosting the interactive KidZone and will have hands on art activities for children. Located next to the KidZone will be a special Child ID feature, sponsored by New York Life. Parents can bring their child to be photographed, fingerprinted and get essential information stored on a CD to have if needed in an emergency.
