CAF: What it's all about

The CAF is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing funds for Performing Arts Programs in our local schools. With all the budget cuts constantly eliminating school programs, our organization recognizes the need for outside sources to keep these programs alive. We believe that discontinuing the Performing Arts (music, drama & art) is detrimental to the education of future generations.

The event started in 1991, through selfless dedication of many volunteers who donated time and money. There has been a tremendous support of individuals and businesses working together to create this two-day multi-cultural, multi-generational, musical extravaganza for both residents and tourists.

The last five events have been wonderful community building affairs. We have generated a lot of positive public relations and credibility for our community, Cotati, and the accordion. by producing these problem free events that have benefited our local schools. In the last nine years we have donated over $70,000.00. We also believe the Cotati Accordion Festival has had a very positive effect on the resurgence of the accordion and community spirit and more opportunity and fun for accordion players.
