On May 16, 2004 over 40,000 people filled the historic heart of North Park to celebrate spring at the Eighth Annual North Park Spring Festival.  Once again the streets were packed with people who came to enjoy five stages of live entertainment, international foods, interactive arts activities, and arts, culture, and entertainment for children of all ages.

This year was by far the best Spring Festival of all time.  All the things that make the Spring Festival so great were back this year, like Kids Art Beat, an arts-based children area and the Sycuan Resort & Casino Dance Stage.  Not to mention the other stages of unique entertainment.  Stages like the San Diego Artistic Community Stage, where painters share space with musicians on stage; and the World Music Stage, which featured musical performances ranging from mariachi to Cantonese Opera, continued to feature the best in local talent.

This year's Spring Festival included an interactive arts area on Ray Street.  Here local non-profits demonstrated their trades such as pottery, painting, and sculpting.  In addition the Spring Festival also had an Art's Village, a specialized vendor area devoted to professional artists and professional crafters.

Yet again the Sycuan Resort & Casino Dance Stage (organized by Stage 7 School of Dance) captured people all day long.  This stage presented a fantastic blend of local dance companies that represented many different disciplines from ballet, modern, and salsa to Polynesian, hip hop, and flamenco.  The Dance Stage continues to be our most phenomenal attraction year after year.

The Eighth Annual Spring Festival was an event that brought people together from all over the county.  And this year showed our dedication to making this event just better and better every year.  For information about next year's Spring Festival call 619-294-2501 or e-mail: npbid@northparkmainstreet.com.
