Better Farm and betterArts will be out in force this Saturday and Sunday, tabling at two festivals with art and food for sale, interactive art demos, sign-ups for our mailing list, information about artist residencies, and sustainability internships,  T-shirts and mugs, and the many smiling faces of this summer's cast of characters.

If you're around this weekend, these festivals are going to be great fun: tons of live music, local goods and food for sale, and art.

Third Annual Keith Brabant Music Festival: Saturday, June 30

The Keith Brabant Music Festival is scheduled from 10 a.m.-10 p.m. at Coyote Moon Vineyards in Clayton. The event is free and features local musicians performing throughout the day. Food, wine and kids crafts will also be available. Money raised at the event funds music scholarships for children. The Keith Brabant Music Scholarship was formed in remembrance of Keith Brabant, a musician and composer born in Clayton. Keith believed that all youth should have a full musical education from kindergarten through 6th grade, in order to have the basic knowledge needed to appreciate music. The Keith Brabant Music Scholarship is administered by the TI Foundation, a 501c3 non-profit organization. To learn more about the TI Foundation and to learn about their other scholarship opportunities, click here.
