Since 1965, the Art & Apples Festival® has transformed the 30-acre Rochester Municipal Park into one of the nation's top fine art fairs, bringing together 200+ fine art exhibitors, a wide range of food trucks and tents, stage entertainment and art demonstrations, and art activity stations for the three-day weekend. This year, we invite you to join us in celebration of our 60th anniversary.
The Art & Apples Festival® is a program of Paint Creek Center for the Arts- a regional, nonprofit art center located in downtown Rochester, Michigan- and is the arts organization's annual fundraiser.
PCCA works year-round to advance its mission to celebrate and support creativity in our community by providing opportunities for all to learn, create, experience, and appreciate the arts.
Patrons are invited to experience everything the festival has to offer; from the artwork of our talented artists, the sights and sounds of the Main Stage; to the fresh apple treats and mouth-watering food vendors found around the park, and the creative experiences of the Kids Art Zone and Creation Station- there is something for everyone at the Art & Apples Festival®.
The festival is free for the public to attend. A tax-deductible $5 donation per person at the gate is suggested. Gate proceeds benefit Paint Creek Center for the Arts' programming and 5 local nonprofits.
A free ADA-friendly shuttle service will be available on Saturday and Sunday of the festival.
