From small handmade goods under $3 to large-scale collectible pieces, the fair offers something for every kind of art enthusiast.
In addition to the wide selection of visual art, the fair includes the Heritage Artists Tent, where seasoned Detroit artists present work that reflects the city’s deep creative legacy. It’s a rare opportunity for guests to engage with local talent in an intimate, outdoor setting.
Live music performances, local food trucks, and a nonprofit-supported beer tent round out the weekend offerings, creating a festive environment for attendees of all ages.
