KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – The Kelseyville Pear Festival Committee is well under way with its preparations for the 25th annual Pear Festival, scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 30.
The festival originally started with a handful of vendors, a barbecue and a scarecrow contest.
Today it is attended annually by 10,000 to 12,000 people and hosts musicians and dancers, more than 100 craft and food vendors, an old-fashioned Main Street parade and fly over, a Lake County wine tent, pear pavilion, horse faire and a kid’s town recreational area.
Also featured are agricultural, historical and art displays throughout the town.
New this year is a Farm to Fork Kickoff Dinner served down the Main Street of Kelseyville on Friday, Sept. 29.
The dinner will be followed by a street dance featuring music by the Funky Dozen.
Local catering company, Rosey Cooks, will be preparing a three-course meal served family style, featuring the freshest of local ingredients. Local wine and beer will be offered at a nominal price.
Tickets for the Farm to Fork Dinner and Street Dance are $65 and can be purchased at www.eventbrite.com or from Oak Boutique located on Main Street in Kelseyville.
