Once considered gone, the Deep Ellum Community Arts Fair was reincarnated and can kick off for a Memorial Day Weekend run beginning Saturday.

In September, Stephen Millard, founder and producer of the Deep Ellum Arts Festival, announced that his 28-year-old event wouldn’t return in 2023.

But not lengthy after Millard made his announcement, the Deep Ellum Community Association stepped in and arranged a community-run pageant that emphasizes Deep Ellum artists first, then Dallas, North Texas and regional artists.

“There was so much great art in Dallas that wasn’t able to be showcased just due to space restrictions in the old event,” mentioned Hondo Meredith, who’s with the occasion’s outreach committee.

Rain or shine, the humanities truthful will run from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday by means of Monday. The weekend will characteristic displays, live shows and native meals selections — all showcasing Deep Ellum, organizers mentioned.

The pageant’s new structure is north-south on Crowdus Street between Indiana and Canton streets. Only a few companies may have their storefronts blocked, a distinction from earlier festivals. Elm and Main streets can be open just for pedestrians and emergency site visitors.

The pageant is likely one of the first occasions that can have a good time Deep Ellum’s founding 150 years in the past.
