Yes, there will be artists vending their wares and musicians plying their trade, but what concerns us here, in the dining section, are the 28 food purveyors on hand to offer everything from gyros to Thai barbecue, Louisiana gumbo to Filipino lumpia, deep-fried delights and healthy fruit smoothies. Perhaps the most notable news is that Mountain View's Tied House Brewery will follow its own annual tradition and celebrate the festival with a commemorative brew. This year's model is a Vienna Lager, darker than a pilsner and heady with rich malt flavor. And for those who prefer the juice of the vine, varietals from seven wineries can be sampled instead. The festival takes place from 10am to 6pm Saturday and Sunday on Castro Street between El Camino Real and Evelyn Avenue.
