About Us
Art in the Eastside Arts District!
The 5th annual Eastside Arts Festival is a week-long, fun and interactive art-making event this summer, bringing together local visual artists, musicians and the community to explore, learn, and create outdoors in MacLean Park, in Eastside art studios, breweries and throughout the Eastside Art District.
On July 26 from 1pm-7pm attendees can enjoy a free outdoor concert in MacLean Park presented in collaboration with the Rickshaw Theatre, as well as public art actives and an art shop where attendees can explore the work of local crafts people. As well as a selection of food trucks and a licensed beverage garden with beer, cider and wine from Strange Fellows Brewing.
The Eastside Arts Festival is brought to you by the Eastside Arts Society, producers of the Eastside Culture Crawl.
