The parties will host over 100 pop-up vendors, local food trucks, and live music on the streets and inside select businesses.
Last year, there were over 30,000 attendees over the span of the 2-day festival. Five new murals were painted throughout the Marina Arts District, including a ground mural in Norma Urban Park, a three-story mural of Corpus Christi Native Farrah Fawcett, and a five-story mural honoring our “Birdiest City” designation.
A full schedule of events will be announced in the coming weeks. All events are weather permitting. Murals produced by the festival are semi-permanent and intended to last for several years.
