16 OUR YUCAIPA | MAY 2016 The Fifth Annual Yucaipa Music and Arts Festival is set for May 13 to May 15 in the historic Uptown district. Thousands will gather to enjoy music, vendors, and food in a fun three day event that draws thousands of people for a full weekend of fun and relaxation. The Yucaipa Music and Arts Festival's appeal as an affordable family event is one of many reasons it is quickly becoming a premier event in the Inland Empire and in Southern California. This year's festivities will offer a line up of classic rock and country themed musical entertainment with a featured performance by classic rock legend Starship featuring Mickey Thomas and The Romantics. The entertainment will also boast various well-known Inland Empire tribute bands like Fire & Ice (Pat Benatar) and specialty groups like Saloon No. 12. The opening act will feature performances by country music sensation James Wesley. The festival will close Sunday evening with Rod Piazza & the Mighty Flyers and B.O.E. Event goers can experience Yucaipa's Uptown by visiting local farmers' market booths, participating in the "Taste of Our Town," restaurant sampling event and cheer on their favorite youth band in the Band Slam competition. There will also be adult tricycle racing, sponsored by the local Rotary Club, and roaming entertainment. If precious stones and art piques your interest, then the Gem and Mineral Show and Artists' Row is a must see. This year the city has partnered with the Women's Club, located on Adams and Avenue A, to offer a nice cool place to hold the flower show. Don't forget the kids — there's plenty for them to do with carnival rides, a kid zone, and a dedicated youth stage. If you're hungry, no need to leave the event, a wide variety of food vendors will be on hand to satisfy anyone's taste buds. Event attendance and parking is free. Tickets and wristbands will be sold for carnival rides and certain event attractions and a beer and wine garden will be available Friday through Sunday for those 21 and over.
