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 2016 Wistaria Festival will take place next Sunday, March 13th, 2016.
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 $8 for ages 6 -75 Seniors 75-89 and children uner 6
are $6 and Super Seniors - 90+ ride for $1. Children under 2 and under 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 chamber’s website, www.sierramadrechamber.com or by stopping by
The Bottle Shop in Sierra Madre.
