an influx of similar festivals, like the Pirate Festival or their well-known
Alice in Wonderland-themed holiday parade, and Vidor hopes Carnevale
Fantastico will continue that trend and help the city grow.
“I really think festivals can be used as an economic engine in Vallejo,”
Vidor said. “For one thing, they can be used to highlight all of the beau-
tiful parts of Vallejo, but they can also bring people in from the outside
and they can see what a delightful, lovely city it is, and that there’s a lot
to do here.”
Carnevale Fantastico will start at 10 a.m. at Blue Rock Springs Park in
Vallejo on both Saturday May 2 and Sunday May 3. Tickets can be pur-
chases at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/1375509 for less than
$13 per person. There will be NO PARKING at Blue Rock Springs Park
(so the performers can have that parking lot space), but there will be park-
ing, along with a free shuttle, at Solano Community College, Jesse Bethel
High School, Valley Ferry Terminal and Blue Rock Springs Golf Course,
which is literally just a stone’s throw away from the park.
