The starting point is the Sutter Youth Organization building in Sutter with plenty of parking available across the street at Sutter High School. Those who have already taken this training are urged to refresh their skills. The Yuba Sutter area presents the River Festival and Feather River Jet Boat Marathon. Additional features of the two day festival include a boat and recreational vehicle show, food and craft booths and entertainment activities for all ages. Always a treat for the eyes, ears and heart are the works of the participating and exhibiting artists of the Very Special Arts Festival.
Art is felt values and therefore an equalizer.
Talent is found among all people. Every year in May the Very Special Arts Festival provides an opportunity for specially challenged people of all ages to exhibit the products of their artistic endeavors and stand among the best with their abilities to express themselves in art. The annual day-long event has developed into a festival that attracts thousands and features arts and crafts and entertainment for the whole family. Festivities begin at daybreak with a pancake breakfast. Activities that follow include a parade, chili cook-off, children's area, bed races, live music, great food, car show and Civil War reenactments.
