Peoria Unified School District students will take over downtown Peoria and Osuna Park at 83rd and Grand avenues for the Peoria Arts and Cultural Festival, 9 a.m.-3 p.m., March 4.

Students will display visual art and perform dance routines, theater acts, choir performances and band concerts.

“This is a wonderful collaboration between the city and Peoria Unified School District,” said Marylou Stephens, Peoria arts, culture and library services director. “Attendees will get to see more than 3,500 visual art displays and over 80 performances from talented students in our community.”

For the 21st year, the city and Peoria Unified School District will partner on this free event that brings students’ artistic talents to the forefront.

The event will offer activities for children, including a KidZone area with inflatables, food trucks and performances that take place throughout the day from students representing 34 elementary and seven high schools.

Interactive activities include an instrument petting zoo, bucket drumming, painting, photography, digital music and more.
