Meet The Firefighters

Please donate to the KM Volunteer Fire Brigade

The Kings Mountain Art Fair is the primary means of financial support for our local volunteer fire brigade, our community’s first line of defense against fires, natural disasters, accidents and other emergencies.

If you prefer, you may send a check payable to the Kings Mountain Volunteer Fire Brigade to:

Kings Mountain Volunteer Fire Brigade, Inc.
13889 Skyline Blvd.
Woodside, CA 94062

Kings Mountain Volunteer Fire Department (KMFD) responds to fire and medical emergencies along the Skyline corridor between Highways 92 and 84, and the areas accessed from Skyline Blvd. As the KMFD is an all-risk fire department, the volunteers are trained for the same emergency services as provided by paid fire departments in the county. Some of these services include structure fires, wildland fires, vehicle fires, rope rescues, and hazardous materials spills. Because KMFD fire fighters receive the same training as paid firefighters, the KMFD responds to mutual aid requests throughout the county. They respond to over 300 emergency calls per year.


Kings Mountain Elementary School

Please donate to support our KM Elementary School

The Kings Mountain Art Fair is an important means of financial support for the Kings Mountain Elementary School, the smallest school in the Cabrillo Unified School District and the smallest public school in San Mateo County. Kings Mountain Elementary School offers a unique alternative for mountain and Coastside families. It has three combination classrooms, serving approximately 70 students from kindergarten through fifth grade and is a California Distinguished School.

About the Art Fair

Started in 1963, the Kings Mountain Art Fair is an annual event, held every Labor Day weekend.

Known for its stunning location among the redwoods and for its unique and varied artists (selected by jury), the Kings Mountain Art Fair celebrates over 50 years of art and ambiance.

All proceeds from the Fair are used to support the Kings Mountain Volunteer Fire Brigade (purchase vehicles, supplies and equipment), the Community Center building (repairs, utilities, and insurance), special programs for area youngsters and students at our public school, the publication of the community’s newsletter, and to cover the Fair’s expenses. KMAF is self-supporting. No public tax dollars or grants are involved. There are no “corporate” sponsors. All Art Fair workers volunteer their time.

 

Food & Beverage

Come hang out in a gorgeous redwood forest and enjoy great food and fresh air – all meals enthusiastically prepared and served by our all-volunteer staff that includes members of our volunteer fire rescue team.

Breakfast is available from 8 am to 10:30 am PDT at the Cookshack. Enjoy eggs, sausage, pancakes, juice, milk, and Peet’s coffee under the redwood canopy.

Lunch runs from 11:30 am to 4:30 pm PDT at the Cookshack. Tasty hamburgers, cheeseburgers, pulled pork, turkey sandwiches, house-made cole slaw and chili, corn-on-the-cob, peanut butter & jelly sandwiches, nachos and more are served.

A variety of drinks, including juices, iced teas, sodas, milk, water, beers and wines, can be purchased from the Cookshack and the Upper and Lower Beverage Booths.

Preview our tasty menu. If you have food allergies or dietary restrictions, we have included information to help guide your choices.

Don’t miss the world’s largest cookies – peanut butter, toffee, chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin – at the Cookie Booth just around the corner from the Cookshack. All proceeds from cookie sales benefit the Kings Mountain Elementary School.


Kiddie Hollow

Kids have their own dedicated space at the Art Fair: Kiddie Hollow, located down the hill from the Cookie Booth. For a nominal fee to cover the costs of supplies ($4 for 12 tickets, $7 for 26), children of all ages can make their own art at the supervised booths, including spin, string, straw, and glitter art, among other activities. There is also a Parents’ Retreat overlooking Kiddie Hollow where adults can relax while the children play. Kiddie Hollow is open from 10 am to 4 pm.
