The 52nd annual Art-a-Fest is coming to Charles City, IA!
**Saturday, August 16th, 10am-4pm**
APPLICATIONS WILL OPEN SOON!
This festival fulfills an important role in the community and surrounding areas by supporting and celebrating local and regional artists. Our goal is to make the arts accessible to all members of our community during this one-day, free event.
Each year our committee works hard to make the event a success for exhibitors and shoppers. Area businesses and individuals interested in promoting and encouraging the arts help sponsor the event with financial contributions. Cash prizes are awarded to artists whose work is judged superior, and Art-a-fest bucks are awarded to lucky shoppers to purchase artwork.
With interactive arts activities for children, live music, and delicious food from a variety of local and regional vendors, there is something for everyone to enjoy!
The event is located on the lawns of Central Park, in downtown Charles City, Iowa. Art-a-Fest is a rain or shine event, and will only be canceled in the event of severe and dangerous weather. The local Farmers Market will also be set up adjacent to the park until noon.
