In addition to the music, our friendly volunteers will be serving Lagunitas Brewery on tap ($2.50 of every beer goes to SEVA!!). A select variety of food vendors will have non-alcoholic beverages available along with veg and non-veg options. Our Grateful Arts & Crafts Village will have handmade arts, apparel, glass art, jewelry, healing arts, antiques, patches, pins, batik, tie dyes and much, much more!
