I Madonnari Comes to San Luis Obispo September 11 & 12, 2010

I Madonnari - San Luis Obispo
Mission Plaza

Attention September Travellers-

Sometimes it pays off to travel after summer is over. This is certainly the case if you are travelling to Pismo Beach or anywhere in San Luis Obispo County.

Each year in September, the plaza of the Old Mission in San Luis Obispo California is transformed with colorful, large-scale street paintings created by artists and young people. The artists or "madonnari" begin working on Saturday morning of the weekend and continue drawing throughout the two-day festival. The San Luis Obispo Mission is located at the corner of Broad and Monterey Streets. The Festival hours are from 10 am to 6 pm daily and admission is free.
