City of Thousand Oaks Pop-Up Arts & Music Festival Every Friday/Saturday, May 31 to June 29
/
The City of Thousand Oaks brings its annual Pop-Up Arts & Music Festival to the city every Friday and Saturday starting May 31 and running through 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 this year will feature ten free events over five weekends from May 31- June 29, 2024. 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. More details at bapacthousandoaks.com/show-details/pop-up-arts-music-festival-2024.
