PLEASANTON, Calif. - May 19, 2014 - PRLog -- The Pleasanton Harvest Festival® Original Art and Craft Show will descend upon the Alameda Fairgrounds, September 19-21, 2014, boasting a wide array of unique arts and crafts, exciting entertainment, kids activities, live music, and delicious food.

The Harvest Festival features thousands of handmade arts and crafts, including jewelry, ceramics, blown glass, clothing, art and photography, specialty foods and more.

This year, the Hot Rods Band, will take the Harvest Festival stage for the first time playing classic oldies hits of the 50's and 60's. The Hot Rods Band covers the greatest era of rock and roll and will transport the audience to a time of sock hops, beach parties and cruisin' cars.
