The inaugural Walk of Arts Festival of 2022 drew in a crowd of over 1,800 people, featured 159 competing junior artists, showcased over 30 food and retail vendors, spotlighted 7 different bands with headliner Jennifer Paige, and gave away $4,200 in prizes. And that was just the first year!
The Second Walk of Arts featured 200 competition spots for youths, as well as an adult photography and adult art competition, and an all-ages cosplay competition. Our musical lineup included five performances, with our headliners including Ryan Cabrera, LFO, and O-Town and had over 2500 people in attendance throughout the day. With over 100 vendors, a kids-corner, and more -- the event was a one of a kind experience! The next Walk of Arts will take place on February 22, 2025 and will feature Kyle Ingram Trio, featuring local CRMS teacher Scotty Chmura SwipeRight, featuring Dakota Gagliano as seen on Don't Forget the Lyrics, Mixed Signal, featuring Melissa McGhee as seen on American Idol, and our headliner, multi-platinum singer/songwriter, Howie Day!.
