I don’t have an artistic bone in my body but I definitely appreciate the talents of those who do. The Temecula Street Painting Festival will be held from June 25-27 2010 and will be open 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Saturday and 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Sunday.
This is a free event. There will also be spaces for families and children to paint for free in the city of Temecula parking lot next to Serendipity on Main Street if you want to encourage your budding artist.
