The Los Gatos Art & Wine Festival is set for Sept. 20-21 in downtown Los Gatos, bringing hundreds of artists, live musicians, vineyard operators and brewers to town. The event will run from 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. both days on the Civic Center lawn at 110 E. Main St. Over 200 artists are expected to set up booths, and there will be live music on both days. Fine wine, craft beer and gourmet food trucks will also be set up for the event.
