Arts and crafts, cool live music, and great food! A really fun time in the North County-that's the Leucadia Art Walk. Also something to look forward to when the Dog Days of Summer roll around. Late August is when ArtWalk gears up.
Leucadia ArtWalk takes place along about two miles of scenic Hwy 101 at various locations in downtown Leucadia. You'll find art vendor booths, and sometimes a live music or dance venue by a local band. Leucadia ArtWalk doesn't forget about the kiddies either, featuring a children's activities wearable art fashion show, art demonstrations, and a raffle for prizes.
The street fair is a few blocks from Beacons Beach in Leucadia. The ArtWalk website says that the "artists will be displaying their art on the west side of Hwy 101 between Marcheta and W. Glaucus Streets." For thirsty art-lovers, there is a Wine & Beer & Wine Garden (21+ up) Also to help with traffic congestion in the area, ride the free Double-Decker Shuttle Bus.
Park free at the Encinitas Civic Center and Coaster Station, both located on Vulcan Ave. at D. Street, (near where the Surfing Madonna was once located.)
Coincidentally, it has just been confirmed this week that Surfing Madonna artist Mark Patterson will be part of the ArtWalk and will have a portion of the mosaic on display at the event! Support your local artists! Visit the Leucadia ArtWalk! read more
