Each year, the Ann Arbor Art Fair draws nearly half a million visitors to view and shop artwork and enjoy live entertainment.

The event is the largest juried art fair in the nation, featuring three independently-juried, nonprofit art fairs that seamlessly connect to create one massive outdoor art gallery, including the Ann Arbor Street Art Fair, the Original, the Ann Arbor Summer Art Fair and the Ann Arbor State Street Art Fair.

Alongside the art and live music, festivalgoers can enjoy sidewalk sales from local retailers and extensive patio dining at the city’s restaurants.

“We work year-round to make this fair the best it can be for the artists, attendees and the city of Ann Arbor, and this year is already shaping up to be incredible all around,” executive director of the Ann Arbor Summer Art Fair Karen Delhey said in a statement. “We have artists representing every medium under the sun, international art exhibits and talented musicians coming to our wonderful city for a weekend dedicated to embracing and celebrating creativity.”
