The purpose of CalFest is to assist members in achieving the goals of their events by providing opportunities for improvement through networking, education, and leadership development. We do this to enhance the quality of life in our communities and promote a better understanding of special events. At the 2024 CalFest Convention we will come together learn, network and recongnize our members. At the Convention we have a live and silent auction that will be held on the evening of Feburary 14, 2024.

CalFest works to promote awareness of issues affecting the festival & event industry. We foster and support the arts, cultural heritage, community recognition, sports, recreation, and tourism through local events, workshops, trade shows, and parades. We recognize and reward professionalism in the state’s festival & events industry which brings value to all.
