Almost Fringe Festival Point Arena Community Event

     The Almost Fringe festival in downtown historic Point Arena, is a fun and entertaining local event here on the coast that features some of the many talented artists that live in and around the area. 

Booths with local crafts and offerings line the main street and vendors are encouraged to make their booths interactive by planning a performance or display of craft at some point during the day.   The Farmers market with local grown produce is on hand along with local handmade jewelry, pottery, art,clothing and live music all afternoon long. Food trucks offer quick delicious meals in the downtown park and music wafts through the air.  So Festive and fun this event marks the beginning of the spring season on the coast, and is great for a unique family day out.

  The August Valentine booth featured live model sculptures wearing some of our more elaborate designs. The winds got gusty around 1pm and we had fun walking models around town for an interactive photoshoot. Including local historic landmarks in our images such as the Point Arena Theater and super cute and kitsch Franny's cup and saucer bakery. 
  
  I look forward to this event every year as a chance to commune with my fellow artists and community members and it's always a good time. If your in the area its definitely worth a walk through! 














Location: Point Arena, CA 95468, USA

Reclamation Station: Remaking a vintage Embroidered wool scarf into a sexy mini dress SS20 August Valentine Collection "Q"        One thing never in short supply at any second hand or vintage shoppe are scarves.

Hemmed everything to fi...
