The Open Arts & Music Festival is presented by Glendale Arts and the Downtown Glendale Association, and is supported, in part, by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors through the Los Angeles County Arts Commission. The Festival is FREE and family-friendly with live music curated by Spaceland Presents, an arts market with workshops, a beer garden with local craft breweries, temporary public art installations, and all-day activities for children. The city block in front of the historic Alex Theatre in Downtown Glendale closes for the day and comes alive with the arts.
