Church Street outside the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium

Saturday and Sunday, August 7th and 8th see the return of the popular Cabrillo Music Art & Wine Festival. Celebrating its nineteenth year, the two-day “festival within the Festival” offers an inspiring reflection of the arts in Santa Cruz. The weekend bursts with non-stop world and ethnic music and dance on the outdoor Church Street Stage, and dozens of premier artists and craftspeople selling their treasures all along Church Street in front of the Civic Auditorium.

Never is the spirit of Santa Cruz more alive than on the Church Street Stage when the spotlight is focused on Santa Cruz’s exceptional musicians. Audiences will travel the globe with musical voices from Mexico to Ireland, Africa to Cuba, and dance traditions from the Middle Eastern to European classical ballet, American modern and urban hip hop. Some groups make their Church Street Stage debut, and many are old favorites returning for the fun.
