Whether eating cheeseburgers, playing keyboard, or just being grumpy, cats are the stars of the Internet. In honor of our feline friends, Community Concern 4 Cats invites you to The Walker Art Center Internet Cat Video Festival. This internationally famous festival will be shown on a big screen at sunset. Starting at 3PM there will be music, art, children’s activities, food, beer, and wine. Bring a blanket or low chair for the show. Heather Farm Park, September 7th, 3-10pm.

The first Internet Cat Video Film Festival was premiered by The Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, MN, on August 30, 2012. Thousands of the best cat videos were distilled from all over the Internet into 75 minutes of hilarity and over 9,000 people came from across the world, packing the museum lawn to enjoy the event. What began as a crowd-sourced social  experiment at a leading art center, resulted in national and international media attention with a global audience.

Now, The Walker Art Center graciously presents the west coast premiere of the 2013 edition of the festival with Community Concern for Cats (CC4C) for their September 7th, 2013 screening at Heather Farm Park

CC4C will share this honor with numerous other local nonprofits and has invited over a dozen other animal rescue groups, as well as local artisans, theatrical performers, and musical groups. Celebrity cats such as Cat Blanchett, Meow Streep, Robert Redfur and Howley Berry will be there to be auditioned for a starring role in your home. Even the sponsors are getting into theme: have you ever seen a Catillac Cadillac?

Entertainment will include music from the band Late for Dinner and many other Northern California performers with cattitude. Great food will be available from local vendors, the Contra Costa Wine Growers Association will be pouring from numerous area wineries, and Pyramid Ale House will provide beer. Children’s activities will include projects by the Walnut Creek Civic Arts Center and the Bedford Gallery at the Dean Lesher Center.

Bring picnic blankets or low chairs for the field screening at sunset. Cat costumes (or Puuurda Gowns) are encouraged to participate in the parade and face painters are available!
