What makes the Mesa Arts Festival different from other arts festivals in town? Well, nothing, really. But that is so okay with us.

Take comfort knowing that this fest won’t throw you any curve balls or unwanted surprises. No, sir. Stroll with emotional safety through over 100 local and national vendor booths selling unique (nothing crazy, now) wares. You may be able to munch on kettle corn, hot dogs or other street-friendly grub as live artist demonstrations unfold and stage entertainment commences. Something missing? Oh, right. Children’s activities. Yeah, they got that, too.

Sat., Dec. 11, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.; Sun., Dec. 12, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., 2010
