Bigger in that the KFOX-sponsored tribute stage will be prominently located on Sixth Avenue near Belmont City Hall; and better in that there will be more music and activities than ever before.

STM is the primary event of the year for the Belmont-Redwood Shores School District's education foundation. Sarver says its an opportunity for School-Force to bring the gift of music to the community.
The charge of STM is trifold: to bring an annual event to the Belmont community that celebrates the arts in the city's schools; to highlight the financial needs of the Belmont-Redwood Shores School District; and to thank the business community for their support of the schools throughout the year.
This year's main sponsors are Oracle and KFOX 102.1 FM. For a complete list of sponsors and a schedule of activities, click here.
Suggested donation for entrance to the Festival is $10 per adult and $5 per child, to help offset festival expenses and ensure that every possible dollar goes to Belmont and Redwood Shores public schools.
The Festival will be held Sunday, Oct. 6 from 11 a.m.-5:30 p.m. in Twin Pines Park and along Sixth Avenue near Belmont City Hall.
