A celebration of our community, by our community!

This once-in-a-generation celebration is almost here! We’re turning the Martinez Waterfront into a full‑day playground of music, activities, treats, and hometown pride.

To sweeten the celebration, every attendee gets a free dessert as our anniversary gift to you. Bring your friends, family, and neighbors: the Festival is packed with completely free activities for all ages, all day long!

All Community Activities Are FREE! Kite Giveaway, sponsored by the Kite Man of Martinez, Climbing Tower, Kayak Adventures, and more! See below for a beginning list of activities!

Retail items celebrating Martinez, food trucks, and beverages will be scattered throughout the Festival for purchase.

Planned in partnership with Downtown Martinez & Co. and the Bay Area Craft Beer Festival: Beer Fest is a ticketed event, and you can pre-purchase tickets at www.downtownmartinez.org.
