About the Festival

Our Story & Mission

The Winter Warmer Festival was born from a simple idea: give our community something to celebrate when the season is quiet, the days are short, and the spirit needs lifting. We wanted to create an event that brings people together—not just to warm up with great food and music, but to rekindle the connections that make the San Lorenzo Valley special.

Set against the majestic backdrop of the redwoods, Winter Warmer is part cozy concert, part indoor market, part community reunion. It’s a chance to enjoy live music, indulge in comfort food, discover local artists, and support causes that matter—like our local fire department and the Homeless Garden Project.

Our mission is to celebrate community in all its forms: creative, collaborative, and connected.


A Note from the Founder

“I’ve always felt like winter needed its own festival—something warm, something intimate, something that makes you feel part of something real. That’s what Winter Warmer is. We’re not just filling a gap in the calendar—we’re filling it with meaning, music, and the magic of this valley. Thanks for being part of it.”
