Celebrate Milpitas Summer Festival

The first Milpitas Art & Wine Summer Festival organized by the Milpitas Chamber, was held August, 1988, at the Milpitas Town Center. Now called, “Celebrate Milpitas,” the chamber is pleased to host this community event offering music, art, food and drink to thousands of people every August. The annual event is free to attend. It’s fun for all! Celebrate Milpitas offers a wide variety of cultural offerings, arts, crafts, and interactive activities for kids and adults. Three stages provide live entertainment, local talent, musical revues, and dancing in the streets. The festival also features a Business Showcase area for local businesses to promote themselves, a children’s play area and a great mixture of ethnic and traditional foods, and beverages (beer and wine of course!). The chamber is working diligently on plans for a similar event in 2009. The feedback received in recent years has been tremendous and we look forward to celebrating with you and all that Milpitas has to offer.
