4th Annual Clara Brierly Festival of the Arts
Uniquely Hometown - Uncommonly Fun
The Fourth Annual Clara Brierly Festival of the Arts is scheduled for June 8th-10th, 2012. Once again, Downtown Peculiar will be transformed into an exciting new landscape of sparkle, music, canopies, stages, and lights. Admission is free to the public. Festival goers of all ages can expect to be delighted by music, dancing, art, demonstrations and food among neighbors, family and friends.
This street festival is held in the heart of Downtown Peculiar, Missouri - a worthwhile twenty minute drive from Kansas City, Missouri or Johnson County, Kansas and convenient to 71 highway. It is hosted and promoted by the Downtown Peculiar Arts and Culture District and is a cornerstone of Downtown revitalization.
Involving and including everyone is the goal so there are several events held in conjunction with the Clara Brierly Festival of the Arts. There will be a talent show, a 5k run/walk, kids' activities, food, and artist Purchase Awards. We also have sidewalk chalk available in our welcome booth for inspired artists of all ages.
SPECIAL GUESTS: This year we are thrilled to announce the musical talent of Nashville recording artist Drew Davis, who will be our stage talent Friday night (thanks TC Heating & Cooling!). Saturday night features local favorites The Outtakes.
