(St. Louis) On June 11th and 12th, for the eleventh year, tens of thousands will descend on the historic Central West End neighborhood for the annual Central West End Art Fair & Taste. Called "one of this region's best art fairs", over 150 artists combined with 50 finer restaurants will display and present their expertise for the weekend. Artists travel from as far away as Hawaii to participate and the event is well known for it's superior atmosphere as attendees stroll and shop the tree lined private streets of the Central West End and dine at fine outdoor patios while attending the event.

The 11th Annual Central West End Art Fair & Taste will be held June 11th and 12th from 10 AM to 11 PM on Saturday (artists will remain open only till 9 PM) and Sunday 10 AM to 6 PM. The events will be held on the streets in the Central West End on Euclid Avenue from Lindell to McPherson. Other streets will also be used for the event including Maryland Avenue, Maryland Plaza and McPherson. Last year's event drew over 50,000 people.
