The 16th Annual Festival of the Arts at the Herberger Theater Center, at 222 E. Monroe St., will go from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 15.

The free celebration will feature two stages of live music, dance, and performances by Valley arts organizations. There will also be a hands-on, interactive Kids Zone, a vendor market, and live artist demonstrations. Look also for food trucks and a wine and beer garden.
