Coming Sunday, May 18, 2008
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 20th,
2007 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

including breathtaking art, live entertainment, scrumptious food, and
all types of entertainment.
Previous year’s attendance topped over 40,000, 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.
  
The Arts Village is an interactive
community of artisans which showcases artists who are creating and
displaying their work, allowing visitors to observe the creation of
fine art. The juried artists’ area will present local artists
displaying and selling their work, and compete for awards.
In addition to the amazing works of art, the festival
features over 100
specialty booths and a wide variety of international
cuisine. The adjacent Coffee and Tea Lounge provides a convenient
spot to relax, lounge, enjoy some delightful treats, and listen to the
music of the nearby stage.
The Kid’s Art Beat lets the little ones
can join in on fun and interactive, educational and multicultural art
activities. This year’s event will once again feature the Sophia Isadora
Academy of Circus Arts. Kids of all ages are enchanted at the Pet
Zone where they can “Ask a Trainer”, learn about adoption, and more from
the San Diego Humane Society.
A festival in San Diego just isn’t complete without
great live entertainment and the North Park Festival of the Arts
