About the event

BAY AREA CRAFT BEER FESTIVAL & MARTINEZ SESQUICENTENNIAL CELEBRATION Saturday, August 29, 2026 11:00 AM – 7:00 PM Martinez Waterfront The Bay Area Craft Beer Festival has been reimagined as part of the City of Martinez's Sesquicentennial Celebration, commemorating 150 years of community, culture, and history. This all-day waterfront event will feature craft breweries, live music, family-friendly activities, artisan vendors, community programming, and food vendors throughout the festival footprint. Attendance is projected to exceed 5,000 attendees throughout the day, with the potential for significantly higher attendance due to the citywide celebration and multiple event attractions. Food vendor spaces are limited and will be curated to ensure a diverse selection of food offerings and strong sales opportunities for participating vendors. Food vendors should plan inventory and staffing to support continuous service throughout the full event schedule from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Food Vendor Fee: $500 Pre-Packaged Food Vendor Fee: $350 Vendor selection will be based on menu diversity, event experience, operational capacity, and overall fit with the event. Submission of an application does not guarantee acceptance. Event organizers reserve the right to limit menu duplication and determine vendor placement. Required application documents include: • Contra Costa County Health Department Permit Application (if applicable) • Copy of Current Health Permit • Contra Costa County Fire Department Permit Application • Certificate of Insurance • California Seller's Permit / Resale License Applications and supporting documents should be submitted through Eventeny or emailed to events@downtownmartinez.org as instructed.
