Snake Alley Art Fair is a full-day celebration that embraces creativity and community spirit, with a focus on a passion for visual arts. Originating over 50 years ago as a small gathering of local artists along the historic Snake Alley, known as "The Crookedest Street in the World," the fair has evolved into an annual event.
SAAF now showcases a diverse array of handmade and original artworks by Midwest artists. Visitors have the opportunity to meet the artists, discover their inspirations, and learn about their creative processes. Each piece is crafted with dedication and care, offering a unique chance to acquire original fine art directly from the creators.
This family-friendly event features art activities for kids, live music, and a variety of delicious food vendors.
Free admission!
