The O-Town Walls MuralFest was Ontario, California’s first annual mural festival that took place in October 2025 in the Downtown Ontario Arts District. It was community-oriented event that turned blank walls and building facades into large-scale artistic expressions, transforming the area into an open-air gallery.

Exploring the area in March 2026, the murals are all still on display and in good shape, though some are now behind chain-link fencing. In additional to the fourteen murals created during the MuralFest, there are many other artistic expressions to be found in the area, including the DTO letters and painted utility boxes.
