More than 200 artists, dozens of venues, top local performers, poets and filmmakers will participate in ArtWalk Ventura, the area’s largest arts festival, Sept. 27-28, 2025.
This free, family-friendly celebration of the creative spirit will feature the work of area artists in local galleries, businesses, restaurants and on the grounds of Mission Park. The route starts on Main Street Downtown and goes up Ventura Avenue, encompassing the Museum of Ventura County, the new Vita Arts complex at Garden & Main, Working Artists Ventura, and the Bell Arts Factory. In between are numerous galleries, businesses, and restaurants featuring local artists and musicians. Maps and signage will guide visitors.
Two stages, one at the Albinger Archeological Museum across from Mission Park, and another at California and Main, will feature popular local bands, theater groups, and dancers. A cinema festival and poetry readings will be held in the Knights of Columbus Hall. Street painting, a children’s area, large art installations and live painting and pottery demonstrations will also be featured.
