Mark your calendars...here's the info from the City of Temecula:
The City of Temecula’s Community Services Department will host the 2023 Temecula ArtFest featuring Cartoon-A Paloozah! Formerly called the Temecula Art & Street Painting Festival, this fan-favorite event will be held on FRI, SEP 15, 2023, from 3:00 pm – 7:00 pm, and SAT, SEP 16, 2023, from 10:00 am – 5:00 pm, located at Town Square (41902 Main Street) and surrounding event areas in Old Town Temecula.
Paintings, ceramics, jewelry, and photography set the stage for a weekend of creativity and talent through the sold-out outdoor Art Exhibition. An exciting new addition this year is our free Fun Zone! In lieu of a chalk competition, the Fun Zone will include a designated chalk art area for young artists to create pavement masterpieces! No registration required, first come first serve.
Temecula’s own Mini Con, Cartoon-A Paloozah! is back. Fans of anime, cartooning, and comics can come together to represent and support their favorite fandoms. Cartoon-A Paloozah! will include a sold-out indoor art vendor area, an Art Contest, and a Cosplay Contest. All contest winners will receive a cash prize. Applications for the contests will close on FRI, SEP 1, 2023. This is a free, in-person event for all ages.
