If you're in Arlington and have a penchant for the arts and a crisp outdoor vibe, mark your calendars for the first week of April. The 11th Annual South Street Art Festival will be held in Downtown Arlington, Texas, from April 4 through 6. This annual affair, touted as the city's longest-running fine art showpiece, is poised to create a sprawling canvas of creativity for visitors.
Imagine walking down E. South Street, now transformed as a gallery under the open sky, showcasing everything from abstract paintings to intricate sculptures. Running from 300 to 600 blocks, the event throws open its metaphorical doors—all without cost. According to an announcement by the City of Arlington, festival organizer Steve Moya, from the original notice, attendees can "See and buy from national, regional and local artists selling one of a kind original art."
A feast for more than just the eyes awaits; your ears will get plenty of action with the live entertainment from local and regional bands. The sensory experience doesn't end there, with local food vendors on hand, serving up festival favorites that ensure no one does art on an empty stomach. While the thought of food might normally whet the appetite, let's not forget the heart of the event – the art and the artists bringing their best to the streets of Arlington.
