Kid-friendly fun abounds at Moraga's Pear and Wine Festival

This year the skies were gloomy, but the mood wasn't, for Moraga's annual Pear and Wine Festival.

Held on Sept. 30 at the Moraga Commons Park, there were booths galore from both town organizations as well as craftspeople selling their wares. Live music filled all corners of the park from the Bartlett Pear Stage, while the smell of grilled hot dogs and hamburgers had people lined up to satisfy their cravings. The pear pie booth sold out of their specialty as was evidenced by the sight of many festival-goers walking around with boxes of the coveted dessert for at-home consumption.

With so much new playground equipment recently installed at the commons, Moraga Parks and Recreation Department's efforts were immensely enjoyed by the younger festival attendees. Added to that, were the bounce houses and ginormous inflatable slides.

Thanks to the participation of the Moraga Lions Club, Kiwanis Club of Moraga Valley, Moraga Park Foundation, and Lamorinda Wine Growers Association, the Pear and Wine Festival drew residents from the Lamorinda area and beyond for a day of family fun and sense of community.
