years ago the City of San Jose
celebrated our country's bicentennial at the very first
Tapestry community festival. It is still
going strong. 150,000 people attended last year's three-day
Labor Day weekend event.
In 1992, this nationally
acclaimed festival proudly introduced its new commercial
component, the
Design for Living Home & Garden Show. This indoor
consumer show features the best talent in interior design,
home improvement, landscape architecture, computer
technology, culinary offerings, image development and
leisure activities. Last year, over 15,000 people per day
enjoyed this unique modern lifestyle showcase event.
Design for Living Home &
Garden Show will celebrate its 18th
year in 2009. The success of past participants resulted in
over half the available booth space being pre-sold a year in
advance!
