Don’t worry! A limited number of pre-painted and planted pots will be available for guests who may not have RSVP’d, while supplies last. Live Music & Entertainment: Groove to live music all evening! C-Barrgs spins from 6–8 p.m., followed by Big Boss Bubble performing from 8–10 p.m.. These fan favorites are guaranteed to get the crowd moving. Extras: Enjoy open studio tours throughout the evening and drinks available for purchase from Last Spot by Tortari, serving until 11 p.m. The creativity continues beyond April 11! Join us on April 18 and 25, from 2–5 p.m., to watch local artists paint live in the front gallery. This event is being funded in part by the City of Escondido Public Art.
