Every Labor Day weekend, stars of the contemporary art scene are showcased on the sparkling bay shores of Sausalito, California's Mediterranean-like seaside village. Over one-million visitors from throughout the world have experienced the Sausalito Art Festival since its inaugural event in 1952. Sausalito hosts the West Coast's ultimate Art Experience, featuring the finest fine art and craft.

The world famous beauty of Sausalito, with its historic waterfront and unique art galleries and shops, has long attracted art collectors. Just north of the Golden Gate Bridge, Sausalito is located on the San Francisco Bay shoreline with breathtaking views. The best local, American, and International Artists bring their combined perspectives, virtuoso skills, and more than 20,000 original works of art - including paintings, sculpture, ceramics, jewelry, fiber, art, fine glass, woodwork, mixed media, and photography. 

From functional to surreal, witty to the elegantly decorative, these one-of-a-kind and limited edition Art Works form an unparalleled collection that only be seen once a year. Festival guests enjoy the unique opportunity to meet privately with the artists and commission originals. Stretch out on the lawn in the scenic bayside park and enjoy nonstop waterfront entertainment on two stages, or dance to irresistible rhythms while savoring gourmet delights, with California champagne and fine wines.
