Monday on Talk of the Bay: The West End Celebration returns to Sand City at the end of this month, and, as always, it’s going to be fun! What began as a tiny arts festival has evolved over two decades into a beloved community festival that still features the artistry of local makers. It also hosts a rich lineup of accomplished local musicians performing on three stages over the two-day festival. Christine Barrington welcomes Monterey music promoter Steve Vagnini who has helped shape and develop this free event into a riot of communal joy.
In the second half of the show, Steve Vagnini stays on to talk about his passion project: Guitars Not Guns, a nationally known 100% volunteer run non-profit that serves at-risk children, providing guitars, lessons and a safe environment in which to learn as an alternative to violence. Co-Founder of the Monterey Chapter, Vagnini has led the chapter to become the strongest in the nation, serving over 3,000 local children since 2010.
