May 26-28, Paseo Arts District, thepaseo.com, 525.2688
Over a dozen galleries and more than 60 practicing artists consider themselves denizens of the Paseo, so if there’s one thing that visitors can expect from the district’s annual Paseo Arts Festival, it’s that whatever the weather, it’s going to be a gorgeous Memorial Day weekend. Nearly 60,000 people are expected to stroll through the 36th yearly showcase for the works of visual artists from nearby and around the country who were selected by a jury for inclusion, enjoying too the performance art, interactive installations, live music on two sound stages and tempting food as one of the city’s most inviting events blooms anew.
