The fact that you could learn how to do Tinikling is refreshing. The lines for food was expected but it was worth the hour and a half wait to eat a Supreme Spam Masubi from one of the vendors. The funny thing is that my friend and I were #98 & #99 so it gave us the chance To watch the performers at 5:30pm. Great Music too (CRSB & Adrian Marcel) I am a new fan of their music and so proud to have Filipinos like them representing the culture. My only feedback is towards food. All I ask is for a vendor, volunteers perhaps, to make a table for Halo-Halo or Taho. These two snacks/desserts are honestly one of the best to eat on a warm day and I feel people will benefit from trying one. Overall, Great Event! Thank you to all who made this possible! My first time back in years and it was worth coming the last 3hrs of the event. You MUST attend next year!!!

First time ever really checking out the city of Benicia. So being able to be a part of this…read moreparticular event that took place at their waterfront was quite perfect location to have it at. Antique/classic car show was hosted at the waterfront. What a beautiful day it was to have it. Everything is well organized. There was a selection of food trucks there as well. And a tasting for the alcoholic beverages. It was kind of neat the downtown area connected to the waterfront. Classic car show event as well. For a lot more people to enjoy viewing the history of Benicia. Lots of attendees. Took a walk on the dock and was able to see the beautiful bridge and a couple of boats out on the waterfront. This location can also be considered a relaxing place to do some fishing gorgeous sit and the view or maybe even have lunch while you're out there. Definitely is that the most with any type of activities. Having the classic car show take place at this location definitely was the right choice.

What a waste of money. $15 to enter the place. Only about 20 booths. I Food was OK. Music was OK…read more Overall just disappointing.

Brand new attraction alert! Winter Wonderland did not make its way to Sacramento this year so we…read morehad no where to go and see lights with the kids. This place was promoted via the web and social media so we looked into it. It is located right off the freeway (I-80) at the Fairgrounds right next to Discovery Kingdom and Marriott. Lots of parking and for the Saturday night we went it was not too packed. The line did stretch so I would say buy tickets online and plan to spend a little time to get in. You go through security and then get you tickets at booth or show your online ticket to entry staff. there is food and a carnival attached so there is something for those that are hungry or want to tire the kids out. Some free things and some decent priced things. I won't mention price point due to everyone has a different budget constraint. Also I'm cheap! When you have 4 kids gotta be mindful! Hope that helps. Overall the lighting was not too bad, I wish they had more, however that is an unfair comparison to the once Winter Wonderland we are used to. Still a fun experience, but bring your pocket book and take time and take pictures. I'm sure as they get feedback they will add more as did their competition. Check it out before they go its a nice change to get out and see something different and it is located in the middle of the Sac and the Bay. So take a peak and if anything hold your appetite if needed there are a lot of food choices around the area within minutes.

The fair features cool antique goods, crafts, delicious food, beer, and live music. It's hosted by the volunteers at St. Paul's, who do an amazing job transforming the entirety of First Street in a matter of hours. It averages over 20,000 guests a year, and sells beautiful antiques, quirky handmade goods, clothes, toys, art, etc. All along the waterfront. There are over 300 vendors from all throughout California, selling a huge variety of items. It's family friendly, super fun and really represents the community of Benicia. It's circled on my calendar every year.

Definitely a fun run. Easy to get to, tons of parking lots. DJ was good with music and MC did a…read moredecent job hyping up the crowd. Registration lines for packet pickup went rather smooth, and the merchandise table was efficient with a good selection. The color packs had a good amount of volume to them, which was nice, and additional packs were only $3. They sent runners/walkers out in waves every 10 minutes or so. There were way more walkers than I had anticipated, and with a narrow course, there wasn't much room to go around them if running/jogging. We were hoping to get more of a waterfront run with nicer scenery, but instead it was dilapidated buildings and warehouses. The roads were in poor condition, and several of my friends almost tripped on cracks or uneven road surfaces. This should be a three star rating, but with the DJ, color throwing, and being with friends, this got a 4. My recommendation for them is to pick a better venue.

The part that I appreciated most was the wine tasting map also included the varietal that would be poured at each stop, helping to strategize.

REVIEW #1 BEST WINE…read moreEVENT I HAVE EVER PARTICIPATED IN!! WOWZERS! I am still thinking about my fun wine tasting day this weekend! I am SO happy I didn't miss this event, I would have been so disappointed in myself...and if you missed it, you should be really ashamed as well! This was such a well-organized event with tons of businesses that participated to make this a great turn out. It was 85 degrees weather and perfect day to wine taste. I first heard about this event on Eventbrite and there were tons of other wine events that were going on that day as well but I decided to try this event out. It was located in Benicia which was about a 1 hour from where I live. I was able to find the location and parking was a breeze. I noticed there was parking on the street as well as parking near the beach area. I didn't have any expectations for this event as I never been before so when I walked in I was greeted by a nice gentleman who explained the agenda for the day. The event was from 1PM-5PM, there were a total of 22 wineries but you get 15 free tastings: You are handed a half sheet of all the businesses that are participating in the event as well as the different wines that each business is offering. You go to each business, shop, look around and taste wine at each vendor store. MY PERFECT TYPE OF EVENT! I can shop and sip wine...OH plus talk to people who love doing what I love doing!! OMG, this was totally my type of day! You get 15 tastings and to be honest with you....I tapped out after 8 tastings! OMG, I can't believe I just wrote that...Yes...yes...people I couldn't drink anymore after the 8th tasting. I arrived at 1PM and by 3PM I was on my 8th tasting and I sat with one of the business for over 1 hour and they totally took care of me that I could have bypassed all the rest of the wines and been okay. My of the business even had snacks, treats and lovely music for you to take advantage of while you were there. I was able to witness stores that I never knew even existed! I found an amazing clothing stores, jewelry, my first experience doing a psychic reading! The list goes on and on... By 3:30PM I was walking back feeling myself. This event totally leaves you satisfied. Plus everyone was on their best behavior. No violence or rowdy people. By the time you walk most of the event you seem to meet friends along the way because we were all checking out the same wine stops. This totally changed my mindset about the little city of Benicia! This community is small but peaceful and beautiful! Fun cute shops and lots of history! I can't wait for next year's event! I hear they always do events such as this one. They preciously did a Beer Festival event which was a great turn out as well. I wish they had something like this in my little city! DON'T MISS THIS EVENT NEXT YEAR! REVIEWER 56/196

I most recently came here for a quince but have previously been here for receptions for events and…read moreparties. I believe they have karaoke and dancing on Fridays. It's a very tight parking lot where they only keep on wide open, I think you should have security for your parties there. They have bathrooms in the foyer and an area for the food in the back.

All the vendors are super nice! All the fruits are always so delicious and always nice to snag some free samples. For a few highlights, E&H Farms have the best mushrooms. I love the Salsa's Chick's Mango Salsa. Julie's baked potatoes are so fluffy and filled with so many fix ins. You really can't go wrong with any of the fresh produce! There's really a lovely community here with so many regulars visiting every Saturday morning, rain or shine. The market is the best when it's a beautiful sunny day as there will be live music and the street is packed with more vendors. It's a great way to support local farmers and small businesses.
