The Fremont Summer Solstice Art Week lasts from Tuesday, June 15 through Sunday, June 20. Each day in the Center of the Universe this week will feature self-guided art tours and a Jack Daniels-sponsored cocktail tour of Fremont's best haunts. Each day also has different programming (Statues & Stories on Wednesday, Famous Bridge & Frosty Beer on Friday, Dino Hedge & Cutting Edge on Friday, and so on). Plus, different days feature different special activities. You can see a live-mural painting on Thursday and Friday, the Seattle art cars on Saturday, and, on Sunday, you can peer at the stationary floats that would have run through the parade if it was happening.

These are the last few longest days of the year and they're going to be drenched in sun and balmy 70+ degree weather. I can't think of a better way to ring in summer than with the organized chaos of Fremont's wild and wacky art.
