Come out to beautiful downtown Burbank, CA this weekend Saturday, April 16 and Sunday, April 17 for one of the largest cultural arts events in the Southern California region, "Downtown Burbank Arts Festival"  hosted by the Downtown Burbank Partnership in collaboration with Burbank Arts for All and West Coast Artists. Events will run both Saturday 10am -7pm, and Sunday 10am - 5pm on four blocks of San Fernando Boulevard between Magnolia Boulevard and Olive Avenue.

Visitors can expect  to find various pieces of artwork such as paintings, sculpture, ceramics, jewelry, fiber art, fine glass, woodwork, mixed-media and photography. As an added benefit, there will be nonstop live performances of local dance teams, rock bands, an improvisational comedy troupe, and other performances from Burbank's local school students.

Burbank Arts for All, a non-profit organization, will be using the event to raise money for Burbank student art programs with raffles and opportunity baskets all weekend long. The organization is dedicated to ensuring permanent and equal access to quality arts education for all of Burbank’s 15,000 students. 

Jill and I will be there enjoying the festivities and supporting the arts! Hope to see you there. Have a great weekend folks!
