The Los Gatos Art & Wine Festival is a long-running community event produced by the Kiwanis Club of Los Gatos. Established in 1971, it takes place on the Civic Center lawn in downtown Los Gatos and celebrates local culture, creativity, and community spirit. The free, weekend-long festival features more than 200 local and regional artisans, live music throughout the event, wines from local vintners, craft beer, gourmet food trucks, and opportunities to shop and enjoy the town. The 2026 festival is scheduled for September 26–27.

The festival is also the Kiwanis Club’s largest annual fundraiser. Proceeds support community programs, including scholarships for local at-risk high school students, leadership clubs at local schools, pediatric trauma prevention initiatives, Special Games for youth with special needs, and other volunteer projects. The event is run by volunteers, and the club welcomes people interested in helping with festival activities. Through its blend of art, food, music, and charitable giving, the festival brings visitors together while supporting young people and families across the community.
