Live Manikins

For the second year in a row, October will be transformed into ARTober, and on Oct. 20 the Midtown Arts Festival will feature all kinds of performers and artists. The festivities will take place outside of the MARRS Building (1050 20th Street) from noon to 6 p.m. The SMUD Performing Arts Stage will host dance groups like Jodette’s Belly Dance Academy, Step 1 Dance and Fitness and the Submerge Band Stage will host The Royal Jelly, Sicfus, Ross Hammond and others. An array of booths featuring local artists and crafts will be open for browsing and shopping. There will also be a kid’s arts area and lots of interactive art activities for guests of all ages. Visit the craft beer area, Untapped, featuring many of Sacramento’s diverse breweries and maybe you’ll discover your new favorite beer! The festival expects an estimated count of 3,000 attendees this year, making it a guaranteed party. This event is free so grab all your friends and relish in the beauty of Sacramento’s mild October weather while enjoying the creative talent our city has to offer.
