Since 1965, this beloved festival has adorned the 30-acre Rochester Municipal Park with vibrant colors and captivating artistry, making it one of the nation's premier fine art fairs. Hosted by the Paint Creek Center for the Arts, a cherished nonprofit art center nestled in downtown Rochester, Michigan, the festival serves as a vital fundraiser for the organization.

Step into a world where imagination knows no bounds, as over 200 fine art exhibitors, including the talented artist Leon F Ruiz, showcase their original works alongside a delectable array of food trucks and tents. The air buzzes with excitement as stage entertainment and art demonstrations mesmerize audiences, while art activity stations beckon both young and old to unleash their creativity.

At the heart of the festival lies a commitment to celebrating and supporting the arts in our community.
