The Pescadero Arts & Fun Festival is a delightful celebration of creativity and community spirit in the charming town of Pescadero. Since its inception in 1991, the festival has become an annual highlight, bringing together artists, artisans, locals, and visitors for a weekend filled with artistic expression and down-home, country fun. Originally founded by a group of local artists seeking to showcase the area’s rich talent, the festival has grown into a beloved event that captures the heart of both residents and long-time attendees.
While the festival certainly highlights the impressive array of local artistic talent, it has evolved to become much more than a showcase for artists. The Pescadero Arts & Fun Festival, affectionately known as PAFF, plays a crucial role in supporting and promoting local youth and community programs. Through the dedication and generosity of its organizers and participants, PAFF provides funding to local school programs and offers scholarships to graduating students. Its influence is felt throughout the community, enriching lives and nurturing the next generation of talent and creativity.
