The Artwalk Rosarito 15 AÑOS event celebrates its 15th anniversary on May 23 and 24, 2026, at the CEART (Centro Estatal de las Artes) Playas de Rosarito. This milestone edition marks fifteen years of fostering art and culture "without borders" in the CaliBaja region, bringing together a binational community of creators and enthusiasts.
The 15th-anniversary celebration is a "cultural upgrade" from its origins as a modest festival, now featuring a polished pavilion experience.
Originally founded in 2008 as the "Rosarito Art Fest," the event was created to boost economic development through art following a regional crisis. Over the years, it evolved from a traditional festival into its current "Artwalk" format, becoming one of the most significant binational art encounters in the region.
