The City of Dublin will celebrate wine, art, music, and dance at its annual Splatter event, to be held on Saturday, September 13, at Emerald Glen Park (4201 Central Parkway). The multi-cultural event begins at noon and will conclude with an evening dance party concert at 6:30 p.m. Splatter is known for its fun, family-friendly art activities, unusual art installations, artist demonstrations, live music and dance performances, a World Craft Bazaar, and a craft and culinary marketplace. Admission to the festival is free; however, there is a charge for children’s carnival rides, games, and other activities.
Additionally, performers on the Main Stage include The Sun Kings, a Beatles tribute band, performing from noon to 1:30 p.m.; and Cisco Kid, a War/Lowrider tribute band, performing from 2:00 to 3:30 p.m. The evening will conclude with a dance party concert featuring You Should Be Dancing, a Bee Gees tribute band, at 4:00 p.m. Before the final concert at 6:30 p.m., the Emerald High School Band will perform in front of the Main Stage. The event’s grand finale will feature a 250-light drone show, which will fill the skies above Emerald Glen Park.
There will be plenty of food and drink at the event, as the Rotary Club of Dublin will be on hand to serve local craft beer and wine. At “The Rose Lounge – VIP Experience,” passport holders will be privy to a food-centric experience, showcasing the culturally diverse cuisine of the Tri-Valley region, from 5:00 to 8:30 p.m. Passports to “The Rose Lounge – VIP Experience” can be purchased online at EventBrite.
The Dublin Arts Collective will again bring the "High Life" art exhibition (for exceptional high school art students) to Splatter. The exhibition will take place inside The Wave at Emerald Glen Park from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Submissions will be accepted through Saturday, September 6.
