Live performance artist Thomas Clark returns and an interactive Kids’ Fun Zone makes its debut at the 2019 Dana Point ArtFest, the largest free community arts event in Dana Point’s “Old Towne” set for this Sunday, June 2 from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m., in the city’s Lantern District.

This festive annual event features fine art from almost 100 artists, special menu items at five restaurants, four beer and wine gardens, and live jazz, rock, and pop music at three locations – Jack’s Restaurant, Shwack Beach Grill, and Luxe Restaurant. Bring your family, stroll at your leisure, buy art from local artists, drop into one of the restaurants for great food and libations, and make a day out of it.

Artists will display a wide variety of fine art, including sculpture, ceramics, art glass, jewelry, painting, drawing, photography, woodworking, and metalwork.

The new Kids’ Fun Zone will feature two interactive art booths in which children can either paint small wooden surfboards they can take home with them or on a large elephant sculpture. There will also be a face painting booth, an art booth presented by Laguna Beach’s Sawdust Festival, an art booth presented by young artists from Dana Hills High School, a booth featuring AR Workshop of San Juan Capistrano, and a Steampunk Art steam-powered whaling exhibit.

Beer and wine gardens for those 21-and-older will be located at Jack’s, Shwack, Luxe, and Stillwater.
