Annual spring and summer festivals celebrating the performing and visual arts are so plentiful that it's impossible to see them all. But, if you are in or near Raleigh, NC, in May of the year, you've got to check out Artsplosure.
Conceived in 1978, Artsplosure's goal was to create an "explosion" of art activity, and "expose" large numbers of people to all types of art. The event lasts several days, and is totally free.
In my years in Raleigh I saw the late tenor sax giant, David "Fathead" Newman, Brazilian super vocalist Flora Purim, and vocalist, Sachal Vasandani. All free, at Artsplosure. I had never seen any of these
