4th annual art in the park | 2018

We were excited to see approximately 3000 visitors during our 4th annual regional fine art festival! Shoppers spent over $40,000 on artwork alone and our festival brought people from all over the region to shop, dine, explore and experience our beautiful town and surrounding communities. Northeast Iowa is such a special place and we are so happy to share and showcase so much talent from local and regional artists each year!
