Making the Most of Your Visit
to the Millbrae Art & Wine Festival
To maximize your enjoyment, here are some helpful tips in planning your trip to the Millbrae Art & Wine Festival, September 4-5:
- Be kind to your pet companions (i.e., dogs), and leave them in the comforts of their own home. Pets are not allowed at the festival.
- Dress comfortably, put on some sunscreen, wear a hat to protect yourself from the sun.
- Wear shoes you feel comfortable strolling in. The festival covers several city blocks, so you’ll be walking a lot.
- Consider backpacking children. Strollers take up more space and are difficult to navigate through crowds.
- Bring along cash for food and beverages. None of the food and beverage vendors accept credit cards.
- Don’t fill up on food at the first food booth you see. Stroll around a bit to get a flavor of the offerings, then sample several of the dishes that appeal to you.
- Be careful with your consumption of beer and wine. Drink plenty of water. The weather can be warm.
- Think about your holiday shopping when browsing the arts and crafts booths. Festivals offer unique gifts you can stash away until December.
- Consider using public transportation. For Caltrain/SamTrans information, call 800-660-4287 or go to http://www.caltrain.com/ or http://www.samtrans.com BART is another transportation alternative. For BART information, go to http://www.bart.gov.
- Free round-trip shuttle service will be available from the Millbrae BART/Caltrain station every twenty minutes, dropping off and picking up riders at the south end of the festival near the intersection of Victoria Avenue and Broadway. The shuttle service is sponsored by Millbrae's Best Western El Rancho Inn & Suites.
