Yucaipa Music & Arts Festival: Something For Everyone

City of Yucaipa and its Chamber of Commerce kicked off their annual Music and Arts Festival this weekend in the recently-renovated historic uptown area.

Music included a group of folkorico performers led by Diana Escarcega of Redlands, above. The 80s band Berlin, responsible for the hit single “Take My Breath Away,” remembered by so many from the hit movie “Top Gun,” starring Tom Cruise, were scheduled to perform on Saturday night.

The event featured displays of historic information about Yucaipa and its agricultural and mining roots.  Art, in all its forms, was in abundance, from face painting to classic cars.  Local ceramicist David Porras, below, threw pots on his wheel as a demonstration.
