Alley Cat Art Fest 2026

Save the date for East County’s premier art festival:

Alley Cat Art Fest

Saturday, September 12, 2026 from 10:00am to 6:00pm

The newly re-imagined Alley Cat Art Fest brings together the best of Artivál and the beloved Alley Cat Art Walk, creating one dynamic experience that honors more than two decades of artistic tradition while expanding opportunities for creative expression and community engagement.

From 10:00am to 6:00pm, Downtown El Cajon will transform into a lively outdoor gallery featuring more than 50 artists and makers, interactive art installations, live music, cultural performances, and a diverse lineup of food vendors —  and, of course,

The Wieghorst Museum will be open!

We are proud to participate in celebrating the region’s diverse artistic community and making the arts accessible to all.
