"This is an iconic weekend--it's called 'Artsfest weekend,'" says Marty Goodnight. He's the Chair of the Artsfest Committee, and of course he's talking about Artsfest on Walnut Street, southwest Missouri's largest fine arts festival, which will celebrate its 37th year (yes!) Friday and Saturday May 6 and 7 in the Walnut Street Historic District, bounded by Kimbrough Avenue on the west and National Avenue on the east. "We have so many great opportunities for people that attend--it's a wonderful family event," according to Goodnight. This year's festival will boast the largest lineup of performers in Artsfest history--79 performers in all, says Goodnight. The music festival-inspired Kentwood Green performance space will stay open to patrons until 8 p.m. on Saturday, May 6 to accommodate the lineup. The space is sponsored by TransLand, with no entry fee beyond Artsfest admission. That means that guests can see some of the area's best performers in one place for only $5 at the Artsfest
