Twelfth Annual North Park Festival of the Arts
North Park, San Diego, CA – It’s an artistic cultural experience for the whole family, the 11th Annual North Park Festival of the Arts. Taking place on, Sunday, May 18th, 2008 from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, this FREE neighborhood event is an explosion of arts, culture and entertainment that takes place in downtown North Park, along University Avenue between 30th and 32nd Street. Your day will have something for everyone including breathtaking art, live entertainment, scrumptious food, and all types of entertainment.
Previous year’s attendance topped over 35,000, drawing San Diegans from all over the county to North Park. With all this festival has to offer, this year’s event should draw even more. Come and enjoy The Artists’ Village. This interactive community of artisans will showcase artists who will be creating and displaying their work and allowing visitors to observe the creation of fine art. Be sure to stop by the juried artists’ area where local artists will display and sell their work, and compete for awards. This area will also feature the applicants and honor the winner of this year’s Festival of the Arts poster contest. In addition to the amazing works of art, you can also stroll more than 150 specialty booths while enjoying a wide variety of international cuisine, or sit and relax at the food court, where the Beats & Eats Stage showcases an eclectic array of funky fabulous acoustic musicians, singers, poets, storytellers, beat-boxers and more.
Kids of all ages will be enchanted at the Pet Zone where they can “Ask a Trainer”, learn about adoption, and more from the San Diego Humane Society. You can also let them try their hands at a masterpiece of their own at the Kid’s Art Beat, where the little ones can join in on fun and interactive, educational and multicultural art activities. This year the festival welcomes the return of The Art Miles Mural Project, and the Sophia Isadora Academy of Circus Arts. Also featured will be the San Diego Junior Theater, Teen Theater, and more!
A festival in San Diego just isn’t complete without great live entertainment and the North Park Festival of the Arts is no different. You can dance, sing or just enjoy four stages of live entertainment featuring some of San Diego’s hottest live bands and exciting dance troupes.
