Celebrity Battle of the Brushes
July 16, 7 pm – 10 pm
Watch four CELEBRITY “artists” bring their creativity, brushes and competitive spirit for our very first Celebrity Battle of the Brushes! The event is centered around four local celebrities, paired with four local professional artists to create a one-of-a-kind collectible artwork. Enjoy seeing art created right before your eyes, as well as entertainment, drinks, appetizers, and more! Attendees will have the chance to purchase their favorite pieces of art in live auction format. The professional artists’ work will also be on display for purchase.
Fiesta Days Parade
July 18, Parade Starts at 1:30 pm
A slight modification on our traditional parade, the cars and floats will stay in one place and community members will “walk the route”. Keeping the audience in motion reduces exposure. A special “candy bag” still allows little ones to receive handouts and goodies from our parade participants and keeps everyone safe!
