This past weekend was our 21st Annual Lakeview East Festival of the Arts! Despite a little rain rolling through on Sunday, most of the weekend was filled with sunshine, live music, hundreds of artist booths, great food and drinks, and plenty of festival fun. Broadway came alive with creativity, community, and the incredible energy that makes this neighborhood so special.
A huge thank you to everyone who came out to dance, eat, drink, shop, and admire the incredible original artwork. We’re also incredibly grateful to the talented artists who traveled from near and far to showcase their work, the dedicated volunteers who helped bring the festival to life, and the dozens of Lakeview East small businesses that participated and helped create such a welcoming, lively weekend for the entire neighborhood. Thank you for making another Festival of the Arts one to remember. We’ll see you next year!
