Downtown El Cajon
Celebrate local art, music, and creativity at Alley Cat Art Fest, a free, open-air festival taking over Downtown El Cajon. Bringing together Artivál and the beloved Alley Cat Art Walk, the festival will feature more than 50 local artists showcasing paintings, sculptures, photography, jewelry, handcrafted goods, and more throughout Main Street, Magnolia Avenue, Arts Alley, Prescott Promenade, and the surrounding streets.
Enjoy live music, food, and drinks as you explore Downtown El Cajon’s colorful arts district and iconic large-scale murals. Shop one-of-a-kind pieces, support local artists, and experience East County’s thriving creative community with family and friends. Proceeds from the festival will help restore existing Downtown El Cajon murals and support future public art projects.
While exploring the festival, stop by Sophie’s Gallery to experience Passageways: Hall of Fame, featuring original works created by adult artists with intellectual and developmental disabilities at St. Madeleine Sophie’s Center.
