Get ready for the Central Coast’s largest free, multidisciplinary arts festival, Sept. 26–27!

More than 200 artists, dozens of venues, top local bands, dancers, poets, street painters, filmmakers and performers will come together for ArtWalk Ventura, a free, family-friendly celebration of creativity in Ventura, CA.

Discover the work of local and nationally recognized artists in galleries, businesses, restaurants, pop-up spots and throughout Mission Park. The festival stretches from Downtown Main Street along Ventura Avenue, connecting the Museum of Ventura County, the new Vita Arts campus at Garden & Main, Art City, Working Artists Ventura and the Bell Arts Factory. Festival maps and signage will make it easy to explore every stop.
Enjoy live entertainment on two stages — one at the Albinger Archaeological Museum across from Mission Park and another at California and Main — featuring popular local bands, theater groups and dance performances. Catch new cutting-edge films at CineFest at the Downtown Century 10 theaters, hear poets at the Museum of Ventura County Pavilion, and experience street painting, live art and pottery demonstrations, large-scale art installations, a children's activity area, and a neighborhood art and car show.

Getting to ArtWalk is easy. Gold Coast Transit is providing free bus service throughout the festival, making it convenient to leave the car behind and explore the event.
