WISTARIA FESTIVAL SHUTTLE TICKETS STILL 
AVAILABLE! www.sierramadrechamber.com

Shuttle tickets to ride up to view the Wistaria Vine at the annual Wistaria Festival are still available for 
purchase! The 2015Wistaria Festival will take place next Sunday, March 15th, 2015.

 The Festival features tours of the world’s largest blossoming plant, certified by the Guinness Book of 
World Records. Each year, the property owners upon whose land the vine sits open their homes to allow 
thousands to view the vine. Dozens of Sierra Madre residents volunteer to act as docents at the property, 
telling the story of the vine, which was originally planted from a 1-gallon pot that was purchased for 
$0.75 in 1894. In addition to the tours of the vine, the two main downtown streets of Sierra Madre are 
closed to traffic so that crafters and artists can set up booths to display and sell their wares. This year we 
have added a free Vintage Car Show to the festivities. Downtown village shops are open, and musical 
acts perform at multiple outdoor venues. Memorial Park is transformed into a combination Kids/Food 
zone and a hub of information about local non profits.

 The shuttle to the vine from downtown avoids a long uphill walk from downtown to the neighborhood 
in which the vine sits. Tickets for the shuttle are $15 for adults. Seniors (over 65) and children (6 to 
16) receive a discounted rate of $7. Children under five ride for free. Families of 6 or more can ride the 
shuttle of $30. (No more than 2 adults). 

 You can purchase tickets on the chambers website, www.sierramadrechamber.com or by stopping by 
Savor The Flavor, Beantown or The Bottle Shop.
