The Segerstrom Center for the Arts was filled with children and families romping through colorful art displays Saturday during Costa Mesa’s fifth annual ARTventure.

As a nod to its motto, “City of the Arts,” Costa Mesa celebrated with a two-day event featuring activities and displays from music, theater, literature, culinary arts and more. Children lined up to participate in hands-on demonstrations.

More than 125 artworks were entered in the ARTventure contest this year.

It’s an artistic weekend for Costa Mesa — down the road at South Coast Plaza, the Festival of Children kicked off its National Child Awareness Month celebration with arts, games and other activities.
