Join us for the 53rd Annual Art-a-Fest — a free community event that celebrates regional artists and makes the arts accessible to everyone!✨What to Expect:
• Juried artists showcasing & selling original artwork
• Live music throughout the day
• Free games & hands-on art activities for kids
• Delicious food from a variety of food vendors
• The Farmers Market nearby until noon
• Rain or shine event — only canceled for severe weather.
New this year: We’ve moved to a 9 AM–3 PM schedule. After hearing feedback from our 2025 survey, we shifted hours to keep everyone more comfortable during the hottest part of the day — and to better align with the Farmers Market.
✨Calling Artists & Vendors!
