This is a festival for “all the people” with an energetic festival/marketplace atmosphere, stocked from beginning to end with must-see and must-experience demos and lectures, live musical entertainment, and a slate of surprising give-a-ways and prizes. The Fabulous Food Festival presents attendees with a complete menu of savory experiences. More than 150 exhibitors will offer free samples and products for purchase. Over 20 different food categories will be featured - everything from chocolate to cheese and from sauces to soup. Highlighted over the entire weekend will be a full schedule of cooking demos and lectures by well known Bay Area Chefs, Authors and Food Experts staged on the main floor. A buffet of food-related items including dinnerware, food-themed art, cookware and cooking publications will also be available.

Still Crazy mines the Museum’s permanent collection to explore the glorious Victorian crazy quilt. A purely decorative art object that fused a 16th century Japanese patchwork tradition with the fine embroidery revived by the British Arts & Crafts Movement, the late 19th century crazy quilt presaged modernists' use of abstraction and collage techniques, and was a forerunner of the contemporary art quilt. Crazy quilt-making reached fad proportions during the Victorian period of 1876 – 1900. Made of fine dress fabrics like brocades, silks and velvets, and ribbons they were heavily embellished with areas of decorative embroidery or paint or even photographic images on fabric. They were most often made of irregular shapes and sizes, a kind of collage aesthetic, and they were pieced together with an astounding variety of embroidered stitches, in a multitude of colors. They are dark, saturated and luxurious in look and feel, and the embroidered details are often nature inspired or symbolic or personal. This exhibit features an unusual variety of the kinds of textiles that were created such as quilts, wall hangings, table covers, comforters, to a one of-a-kind matching pair of Victorian parlor curtains.

"Entrancing tale that delivers a most unusual Christmas miracle" - Broadwayworld.com
The men who make their way home for the holidays in THE SEAFARER aren't exactly looking forward to sharing a cup of cheer. But a stranger in their midst, in town to collect a major poker debt, forces them to take a look at their lives - and where they'll end up if they're not more careful. This Tony Award-winner is a darkly funny examination of Ireland's culture of drinking and the arguable states of grace achieved by those who embrace it.
