The City of Thousand Oaks will bring their annual Pop-Up Arts & Music Festival to Thousand Oaks every Friday and Saturday in the month of June.
The festival features “pop-up” public performances at various locations throughout Thousand Oaks. The goal of the festival is to provide residents with an opportunity to actively participate in and enjoy the arts without having to come to the theatre. People are encouraged to bring their own chair/blanket, food and drink and come enjoy great entertainment on a summer evening.
“The Pop-Up Arts & Music Festival has emerged as a tremendous investment in the creative vitality of our community. Last year’s attendance was our strongest yet and this year’s festival is bigger than we’ve had before.” said Jonathan Serret, Cultural Affairs Director
The festival this year will feature ten free events over five weekends from June 2 – July 1, 2023. In partnership with local arts organizations, the festival will include local and regional artistic talent, in addition to nationally recognized performing artists.
Events are free and open to all.
