Slide Show: City Arts Fest 2012

We sprinted around town to capture some of the best moments of City Arts Fest 2012.

From David Byrne and St. Vincent to an Elliott Smith tribute show, the 2012 Heineken City Arts Festival offered a concert for everyone, selling out theaters and packing clubs in several Seattle neighborhoods. We look back at the four-day fest.

David Byrne and St. Vincent kicked off City Arts Fest in style on Oct 17 with a borderline flawless set at 5th Avenue Theatre.
