Though the event give residents an opportunity to enjoy a weekend downtown, it also give the Town of Danville a chance to show off it's downtown businesses to visitors from around the Bay Area.

"The objective festival is two fold," said Martha Levison, the festival's event director. "It gives people a chance to enjoy great artists from all over the county, but also it brings people to Danville and give us a chance to show off the town and hopefully they come back."
