We at DTSB are taking 2023 off for this event as we focus our energy on making our other events even better, especially the 20th anniversary of Art Beat taking place August 19! We have selected our 2023 events based on which events garnered the most engagement and attendance in the past. We are happy to creatively partner with any entity on our 2023 events and look forward to a fun year of memory-making in downtown South Bend!
Join us the second Saturday of each month during the summer as we celebrate the arts during East Race rafting. Arts on the Race is a continuation of Art Beat as local artists display and sell their art work along the East Race. Come out, take a ride down the East Race, meet an artist, and take home a new treasure!
Booth space is available for artists, craft vendors, and artisans. Due to the construction at Seitz Park, spots will be limited this year.
