"Art Beat can't be beat. Where else can 7,000 people – from young professionals and senior citizens to families with children – gather for a unique and authentic celebration of South Bend's creativity and vitality? Come and see why arts and culture are thriving downtown!"

— Mayor Stephen J. Luecke
