Cityfest began 30 years ago in the summer of 1984, when the Hillcrest community gathered on University and Fifth to celebrate the relighting of the Hillcrest sign for the first ever Cityfest. Today Hillcrest Cityfest is a huge celebration of community spirit through music, arts, crafts, and food. This event attracts 150,000+ attendees each year from across the West Coast. This year Cityfest will be Aug. 10 and for the third year in a row, stay past sundown and dance with Hillcrest’s best DJs under the Hillcrest sign with Cityfest Night!
This year’s festivities are brought to you by Hillcrest’s very own live music venue, The Merrow.
This year’s festival will include
- Over 250 artisans and crafters from across the country
- International food court
- A waterslide
- Kids zone
- Furry Fosters petting “zoo”
- Over 6 blocks of fun
- Local bands and Djs
- A super sized BabyCakes birthday cake
- 21+ beer garden
