Burlingame ArtzFest Returns This Weekend
The free two-day festival will feature music, entertainment and crafts from more than 150 vendors.
Downtown Burlingame is the place to be this weekend as the popular Burlingame ArtzFest returns for another year of music, entertainment, food, arts and crafts.
The popular outdoor event is set for 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 10-11 along Howard Avenue which is just a short walk to the Caltrain Station at Burlingame Avenue and California Drive. Festival admission is free.
While the event, which is in its 21st year, previously has been held along Burlingame Avenue, it was moved to nearby Howard Avenue this year to take advantage of easier access to public transportation.
