North Park Main Street announces this year’s San Diego County Credit Union Festival of Arts in North Park, a free festival that celebrates the artistic craftsmanship of the community, from unconventional street art to live musical talent. This celebration of the historic and eclectic North Park neighborhood attracts more than 40,000 attendees from around San Diego and beyond. There is something for all ages at this nine square block festival including interactive exhibits, local makers, fine art, and an array of live music along North Park’s busy University Avenue.

This year the artistry goes beyond traditional mediums. Meticulously designed dishes, cocktails, and craft brew recipes will also be highlighted in the festival’s new Craft Beer Block. The Kids Art Block will provide the opportunity to participate in interactive activities designed to stimulate, inspire imaginations, and create masterpieces. Local dance troupes will perform throughout the day and face painters, crafters, and family-friendly snacks will be available.
