Oklahoma City, OK (March 5, 2025) – This upcoming Memorial Day Weekend will bring the 48th Annual Paseo Arts Festival, May 24-26 in the historic Paseo Arts District. The festival is a popular favorite in Oklahoma City and brings thousands of visitors every year. This year’s festival will feature work from over 90 artists from across the country, along with delicious food and live entertainment. Proceeds from the festival will be used by the Paseo Arts Association to fund your favorite Paseo programs and events, such as FEAST and First Friday Gallery Walk.
The 2025 festival artwork will be designed by Oklahoma artist Matt Goad. Goad is known for his signature modern style of creating compositions with geometric shapes and analogous coloring. Goad’s design will be unveiled soon and will be used on the festival’s posters and t-shirts. “We are thrilled to have Matt’s work as our featured art this year as it truly lends itself to a design as he expresses art through line and color, says Amanda Bleakley, executive director of the Paseo Arts Association.
The festival’s featured artists, food vendors and performers are chosen on a juried application basis. The applications for artists and food vendors have been closed and decisions will be announced later this spring. However, the application for live performers will be open until Sunday, March 16. All musical genres are welcome to apply. There will be two stages at the North and South of the festival and assignments will be made based on music genre, equipment and number of performers. More information can be found at thepaaok.org/festival.
Anyone interested in volunteering at the festival can apply online. Volunteers have the choice of helping with beverage tents, music stages, the children’s area, festival information, artist hospitality, festival merchandise, parking attendants and recycle rangers. More information for performer applications and volunteering can be found at thepaaok.org/festival.
