Art Around Adams will feature 80-plus music acts, a ‘Comedy Trolley’ and more

Held annually since 2004, Art Around Adams has grown significantly since its debut.

Saturday’s edition of the free, all-ages event will showcase a juried art competition, an array of street performers and visual artists, and a whopping 80-plus bands and solo artists.

They will be featured on outdoor and indoor stages along a 2-mile stretch of Adams Avenue, between North Park and Kensington.

The lineup includes an impressive number of San Diego Music Award winners — 12 at last count — including blues-rockers Electric Mud, the hip-hop trio Parker Meridien and troubadour Evan Diamond. The full lineup appears below.

The festival’s largest outdoor stage will be on the field of the Adams Avenue Recreation Center, where eight bands will appear, starting at noon. Following Parker Meriden’s 6:45 p.m. concluding performance, the field will become an open-air movie theater with an 8 p.m. screening of “The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part.”

Since 2008, Art Around Adams has been guided by Adam Rosen. The all-volunteer event’s steady growth has helped shine a spotlight on independent artists, both visual and musical, from across San Diego.

This year, art will be on display in more than 60 galleries and assorted businesses along Adams Avenue. Attendees can cast ballots for their favorite art.

For those not inclined to walk the entire 2 miles, Art Around Adams’ Comedy Trolley will offer free transportation, replete with a rotating cast of on-board humorists.

Art Around Adams: Noon to 8 p.m. Saturday. On a 2-mile stretch of Adams Avenue, between Hamilton Street and Biona Drive. Free. artaroundadams.org
