Spend The Day At The 22nd Festival Of Arts In North Park

The 22nd Annual Festival of Arts in North Park is Saturday May 12th from 11am to 10pm, and it’s going to be jam-packed with cool stuff! The event attracts over 40,000 attendees each year and features artists (100+), performers (4+ stages), interactive art exhibits for kids, culinary presentations and a craft beer block.

The festival features a live art element: contemporary urban artists will create unique works of art using creative everyday objects like cars, refrigerators and boom boxes. Attendees will be awe-struck by the creativity of these talented artists.

The live Art Block will now be located on University Avenue Between Iowa & Herman.

And as you would expect, there will be plenty of food and beer. You can choose to purchase a ticket and get delicious craft beer and food pairings from famous local chefs or you can purchase full pour beers and cocktails while listening to great bands and singing Karakoe with your friends.

There is also a Kids Art Block on Illinois Street, featuring hands-on, interactive opportunities for the kids to participate and stimulate their imaginations while making their own masterpiece.

Proceeds from the event help generate funds for the North Park Main Street organization, a recognized 501(c)(6) non-profit organization that promotes development that supports the arts, culture, and entertainment, while preserving the historical integrity of North Park.

This will be a great day!

See you there!
