After the Show: Images from the Benicia Waterfront

When the Benicia Fine Arts and Jazz Show was all over, it was time to relax and the weather was perfect in this maritime town. Strolling, dreaming, enjoying the warm early evening light, it was all good.

Benicia Fine Art and Jazz Festival


Benicia, a small city on the North San Francisco Bay sits nicely tucked in the Delta side of the Carquinez Bridge.  Sheltered from the most extreme winds, she nevertheless stands firm in the most extreme tides ebbing and flowing past her shores.  The Benicia Yacht Club makes its home in the Harbor and it is there that some of the Bay's largest yachts are berthed for it's deep waters.
Right next to the club is the First Street Green, running along the waterfront, where Romagosa Fine Arts will join forces with other artists and jazz musicians this weekend (7/30-31) to celebrate the Arts.

Benicia features some of the greatest Bay Area artists in its Arsenal district, an old Navy complex where Arts Benicia Gallery and artist's association are headquartered of which Juan Romagosa is a member.

Take moment's pause from your weekend's chores and nourish your creative side with us Saturday and Sunday at the Benicia Art and Jazz Festival.  Enjoy the music, the warm marine weather, and visit Romagosa Fine Arts.  See you soon!
