Welcome the return of summer at the 17th annual Barrington Art Festival, Memorial Day Weekend! Start your family or friend’s day downtown with coffee and breakfast, then soak in unique art from 125+ artists at this long-cherished community tradition. Make your masterpiece at our live painting class, or plan a creative stop in the Kids Art Zone. Break for lunch at your favorite local spot, or enjoy a cold beer, lemonade and delicious snacks at the fest. Be sure to look for Kid’s Art Stop and Live Art Demo signs to get interactive with the artists.  Barrington’s great restaurants, cafes and retail stores are open all weekend.
