Supporting Arts & Community | Castoro Cellars

What started as a 30th anniversary party to celebrate Castoro Cellars has grown into a beloved annual event for California’s Central Coast.

The Whale Rock Music Festival offers two days of family-friendly games, crafts, music, and more. Under the leadership of the Castoro Cellars family, many local volunteers, artists, and vendors work together to make each year’s event memorable.

But it’s more than a festival of fun – it’s a benefit event for the Templeton Instrumental Music Boosters Association (TIMBA), a parent volunteer organization dedicated to enhancing the experiences of Templeton High School musicians.

Music education boosts students’ self-confidence and creativity, and can help them stay engaged in school. TIMBA volunteers know that a strong program means providing more than sheet music and instruments.

TIMBA connects students with resources and leaders to help them elevate their musical skills. They also organize volunteers for trips and fundraisers that make a lifelong impact on the students’ lives.

To date, contributions from the Whale Rock Music Festival exceed $150,000!
