Who doesn’t love a good ol’ downtown street fair? These larger venues are great community gatherings that feature everything from the carefully crafted jams and jellies from our cottage food industries to great offers on solar panels or kitchen remodels and everything in between. Streets lined with vendors, food courts, beer/wine gardens, stages, and carnival rides are some of the elements that are carefully laid out in our work in festival management. Starting with initial brain-storming with our clients (always fun!) and solicitation of the first vendors – until the last street is swept after an event and the lights turned off – our management team offers worry-free results.

City Gates Events comes alongside our clients to provide the entire artist/artisan interface and handle the logistics of juried art and artisan events including day-of-event management and staffing so that our clients can focus on the creative themes and branding that are unique to their own cities and communities. Our work on the details frees them to focus on the creative; and our desire is to provide venues which showcase and promote the work of all creatives – artists and artisans alike – in the southern California region.
