The Capitola Art & Wine Festival is a community event hosted by the Capitola-Soquel Chamber of Commerce. It is the premiere fundraiser supporting the Capitola-Soquel Chamber, a 501(c)(6) nonprofit organization, as well as the local school and community groups that assist with the festival. We are grateful to our hardworking volunteers who help in more ways than we can count. It takes a village, and we are thankful for ours.
