GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) — ArtFest Green Bay is set to transform Downtown Green Bay into a vibrant hub of creativity from Friday, July 28, to Sunday, July 30.
This 3-day event, organized by Downtown Green Bay, Inc., brings art to the heart of the city with art vendors, a color run/walk, live music, culinary delights, demonstrations, and hands-on workshops. The event runs Friday, 3 – 7 p.m., Saturday, 10 a.m. – 7 p.m., and Sunday, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. Entertainment, food, and refreshments will continue until 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. The event grounds include Adams, Jefferson, and Cherry Streets and Adams Street parking lot.
Seventy-five local, regional, and national artists will showcase their artwork for attendees to explore and purchase. From paintings to sculptures, photography to mixed media, there’s something for everyone.
“We really wanted to re-invent what an art fair was; we didn’t want it to be just walking through booths,” said Samantha Mirkes, marketing manager for Downtown Green Bay, Inc. “On top of the art fair, we’re going to have food, music, a hands-on Discovery Zone, local chefs, and more.”
ArtFest Green Bay presented by Nicolet Bank and Green Bay Packaging is made possible through the support of sponsors, partners, and volunteers. To get involved and make a difference, find volunteer opportunities here.
