The South St. Art Festival returns this fall for its second year. This festival has become a major part in developing a new art scene in the middle of Downtown Arlington. There will be a wide array of booths featuring a number of different artworks from jewelry to photography and everything in between. The free three-day art festival will feature up to 100 artists from across the country. While you`re looking at the different art, enjoy music from talented local bands playing the best in Classic Rock, Blues, Jazz, and Texas Country at the East Street stage located next to South Street Patio! Expect covers of legendary rock hits, as well as originals, and while you`re browsing enjoy fabulous cuisine from a variety of different local restaurants! The South St. Arts Fest will line the sides of South St. from Mesquite St. to Mary St., and runs from Friday September 26^th to Sunday September 28^th. Admission to the event is free.

There will be several nightly events also happening throughout the city that weekend, providing entertainment for everyone.
