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 festival will feature eight free events over four weekends from June 3-25, 2022. In partnership with local arts organizations, the festival will include local and regional artistic talent, in addition to nationally recognized performing artists.

Considered one of the most unique and influential guitarists of our time, Kaki King continues to redefine the role of solo instrumental artist.

Los Angeles noir-pop quartet the Leftover Cuties have a sound that is both retro and refreshing. They craft songs imbued with jazzy sophistication and a palm trees-swaying West Coast breeziness. Ukuleles, accordion, jaunty horns, and the round resonant sounds of upright bass combine with chanteuse Shirli McAllen’s commanding yet silky sultry intones.
Kick off the summer with songs from classic California artists like The Beach Boys, The Eagles, Joni Mitchell, and the Mamas and Papas as well as musicals and movies featuring California like Rock of Ages, Lala Land and many more!
