Antelope Valley Walls Festival 2022 celebrates the addition of 15 new murals from September 11 through September 17, 2022, in both the City of Lancaster and the City of Palmdale. Join Lancaster's Parks, Arts, Recreation, and Community Services Department and the Museum of Art and History (MOAH) on Saturday, September 17, 2022, from 4 to 9 PM for various fun activities for the family. This free general admission event will be held at American Heroes Park (701 W Kettering St). It includes live music, cultural performers, chalk artists, a car show, arts and crafts, a beer garden, food trucks, and more!
The festival will include exclusive live performances from The Long Shadows, the ultimate rock band filled with heavy hitter performances from artists like Clem Burke, legendary drummer from Blondie, Eurythmics, International Swingers, and Empty Hearts; Mike Cripps, guitarist from the LA Guns and Brutalists; Gary Twinn from Twenty Flight Rockers and International Swingers; Luke Bossendorfer, guitarist from the Choir Boys and Glimmer; Gaz Ivin, bass player from Dexy's and Choir Boys. MOAH is also excited to include local teen cover band, Skitty Diggs, where the audience is invited to sing along to hit songs.
The cultural performer's stage invites Hula school and dance studio, Hula from the Heart, to immerse guests in traditional and modern hula. From Littlerock, California, Studio8135 will share the tradition of Mexican Folklorico dance. In addition, Palmdale's local musician, David Mountain, will share his original music.
Guests are encouraged to snap photos with the City of Lancaster's community engagement artist, Vojislav Radovanović's large art installation celebrating the diversity of our community, greeting guests into the evening of festivities. Family fun includes glitter and balloon art, a bounce house, face painting, and arts and crafts. Enjoy food from various food trucks and drinks from the Lucky Luke beer garden.
