Beyond the incredible selection of art on display available for purchase, guests will once again enjoy world-class live music and entertainment both days, a selection of outdoor lawn games and a variety of cuisine options for every palate, from gourmet wood-fired pizza to BBQ and more. The open and expansive setting in beautiful coastal North County offers many opportunities to wander between artist booths, enjoy delicious food and drinks and take in a number of the musical performances each day in a tranquil and park-like venue.
