Every year I set aside one weekend in September to go to this local festival on Saturday and Sunday. Of course, I am somewhat biased, as I reside in Santa Clara, I find this festival is a bit different because it takes place in our Central Park and not on Main Street, downtown.

This year I stumbled on the set up activities before the festival. I realize that I take this huge festival for granted.
I forget about the preparation to bring festivals like this together. All through the year, it is efforts from people like our city park and recreation officials, city organizers, local volunteers, and even the artists creating their goods for this - I am sure there are many more I need to include.

The preparation of events like these is story in itself - our community coming together to ensure we have two days of this fun local gathering. I am glad I was able to view a small part of this preparation this year. Festivals like this - not just in Santa Clara, happen all through local communities across the world.

Hats off to all people, and especially the unidentified people who help, behind the scenes every year creating these experiences for us!
