“Celebration Weekend is the perfect opportunity to experience what’s happening in our backyard while interacting with the lifestyle experts who are making the West one of the most exciting places to be right now,” said Peggy Northrop, Sunset’s editor-in-chief. “This is one of my favorite events of the year. I love touring the exhibits, meeting our readers face-to-face, and sampling and sipping my way through the fantastic food and wine.”

Featured Exhibits & Seminars

“Small Space, Big Dreams Gardens,” featuring The Sunset Tiny House
Every year Sunset creates a stunning exhibit for Celebration Weekend devoted entirely to design lovers. This year’s exhibit, the Small Space, Big Dreams Gardens, showcases five exceptional ideas for transforming compact backyards into extraordinary outdoor rooms. Featuring The Sunset Tiny House, these smart and stylish gardens demonstrate how to make every detail count when space is limited:
• Tropical Garden, by Living Green
• Edible Bounty Garden, by Star Apple Edible + Fine Gardening
• Woodland Garden, by Ground Cover Landscaping
• Urban Calm Garden, by Growsgreen Landscape Design
• Desert Modern Garden, by the garden editors of Sunset

Nestled in the Woodland Garden section of the exhibit, The Sunset Tiny House, built by the Tumbleweed Tiny House Company, highlights the West’s love of innovative and beautiful compact living spaces. Resembling a modern backyard cottage, The Sunset Tiny House is a 172-square foot home with big personality.

What’s Next in Food
Four innovative food artisans join Celebration Weekend this year with delicious proof of today’s major trend: Everything old is new again. Come visit The SHED’s Fermentation Bar for a refreshing glass of shrub. Taste award-winning chocolate and preserves from Dandelion Chocolates and Blue Chair Fruit, as well as an array of favorite treats from Good Eggs, specialists in local, farm-fresh grocery delivery.

Also on hand again this year, the Bay Area’s best food trucks, including Ear Good Corn, El Sur, How Ya Bean, Little Green Cyclo, Old World, Seoul on Wheels, Ultra Crepes, Gerard's Paella, Gourmet Faire, Kettle Korner, and Sonoma Teriyaki just to name a few.

Wine Seminars and Pouring Lounge
Join Sara Schneider, Sunset's wine editor for sessions on sparkling wine, featured wines from the Sunset International Wine Competition, and a seminar dedicated to wine in the movies. Sara will also lead attendees through a special beer tasting with Sarah Johnson, Mandalay Bay’s Director of Food & Beverage and Nevada’s first female Certified Cicerone (beer expert).

Cost per seminar: $15 per person. Wine Seminars have limited seating and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Sign-ups will be taken on-site. Tastings are included in the cost of each seminar.

Garden and Outdoor Living Stage
Sunset garden gurus Kathleen Brenzel and Johanna Silver will be joined by some of the West’s leading experts in landscaping, backyard farming, and horticulture at this perennially popular area of Celebration Weekend. From seminars on carnivorous plants to the important topic of designing for a drought, Sunset has assembled two full days of seminars dedicated to the garden and living your best life outdoors. Garden lovers can also stroll the Sunset test garden, where the editors show off favorite plants, projects, garden gadgets, and their very own chickens.

Home & Design Stage
This year’s home stage brings together an impressive group of designers pioneering the future of sustainable design. Seminars include “What’s Next in Sustainable Design,” “Forecasting Future Trends in Design” and “The Present and Future of 3-D Printing.” A panel of “tiny living” bloggers, journalists and experts will also assemble to discuss the benefits and challenges of building tiny. Looking for color and decorating inspiration? The home stage will also host seminars on “Garden-Inspired Outdoor Color Schemes” and “Decorating Myths and Solutions.”

Travel Stage
The travel stage should be the first stop for anyone interested in exploring the West—from discovering “Wildlife in Your Local Parks” to learning “Inside Secrets of the Last Frontier,” led by Joe Williams, a critically acclaimed tour guide and the first Tlingit native to be elected Mayor of Ketchikan Borough. Other seminars include “Campsite Cooking” with Sunset’s Amy Machnak, “Travel Photos Your Neighbors Will Want to See” with Sunset staff photographer Tom Story, and “Outdoor Adventure in California” with the editors of Weekend Sherpa.
