Celebrating its 41st year on Saturday, August 24 and Sunday, August 25, this nationally renowned, award-winning art festival takes place on several closed streets in beautiful downtown Highland Park and is the largest suburban art festival in all of Illinois!

Featuring 200 of the country’s most celebrated juried artists, attendees will be treated to a spectacular array of unique art including paintings, ceramics, sculptures, jewelry, photography, fashion wearables, furniture, leather creations, woodworking, and more! In addition to the art, guests will enjoy live music on three stages and plenty of food and drink options at nearby restaurants.

Activities for kids including face painting, sand sculpture and the popular bubble lady, “Start to Paint” on-site painting classes, selfie stations, artist booth chats, demonstrations, and designated “Kid Friendly” booths where artists welcome children into their space to learn more about the art-making process, add to the family-friendly vibe of this beloved event.

New this year, guests are invited to take part in a community drum circle on Saturday at 2 pm. Drums will be available or bring your own! Admission to the festival is free and there is plenty of free nearby parking. For those taking public transportation, the Metra station is just steps away. Festivalgoers with strollers and wheelchairs can enjoy easy access to all booths, as all of the downtown Highland Park streets are closed to traffic during the fest.

Attendees are invited to bring their gently used art to the festival where it will be donated to the Chicago Furniture Bank, a nonprofit that distributes furnishings and art to those leaving shelters and moving into permanent housing. Several artists from this show are participating in Amdur Productions’ Green Ribbon Project. Artists place a green ribbon on a piece of art in their booth, and if the piece is sold, 10% of the sale will be donated to Amdur’s charitable partner, which is the Chicago Furniture Bank.
