Dublin Does Food, Art and Wine Differently Through 'splatter' Festival

Information from the City of Dublin—

The City of Dublin will again present “splatter, not your ordinary food, wine and art festival” on Saturday, September 21, 2013, in the beautiful outdoor setting of Emerald Glen Park. 

The event is equal parts food and wine, with a heavy dose of spectacular art. More than two dozen of the Tri-Valley region’s finest wineries and restaurants will be featured in a unique Tasting Pavilion. The event will also include a caravan of “Off-the-Grid” mobile food trucks, live, staged musical entertainment, and a Craft and Culinary Marketplace.

This unconventional flavor-fest of food and wine will also be complemented by works of art created in produce, bubbles, words, and paint. And due to popular demand, “splatter” will again present “Backseat Theatre,” an opportunity for patrons to enjoy short comedic plays performed in a most unconventional venue – a car!

Event entertainment, activities, marketplace, and food trucks will be open from noon to 8:00 p.m.

The Tasting Pavilion will be open from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. The evening will conclude with a closing concert at 6:30 p.m., followed by an aerial fireworks show at 8:00 p.m.

General admission to “splatter” is free. There are both free and pay-to-play activities. Pay-to-play tickets can be purchased at the event.

“Passports” will be sold to gain entry to the Tasting Pavilion and are available online at www.dublinsplatter.com. A limited number of passports will be sold at the pre-event rate of $25.00, or may also be purchased on-site at the event for $30.00. “splatter” is a program of the City of Dublin’s Parks and Community Services Department.
