Every summer, the city of Ann Arbor transforms into a walking, talking, painting gallery — and 2025 will be no different. From July 17 to 19, the Ann Arbor Art Fair returns with all the creative energy you didn’t know you needed.
If you’ve never been, just imagine: 30 city blocks packed with over 1,000 artists, each with their own booth, passion project, and collection of pieces that will make you go, “Wait… how did they even make that?”
🗓️ Fair Hours:
📍 Thursday, July 17: 10 AM – 9 PM
📍 Friday, July 18: 10 AM – 9 PM
📍 Saturday, July 19: 10 AM – 8 PM
What makes this event stand out? It’s not just one fair — it’s actually three juried, nonprofit art fairs running at the same time:
🎨 The Ann Arbor Street Art Fair, The Original
🎨 The Guild’s Ann Arbor Summer Art Fair
🎨 State Street District Art Fair
So whether you’re a first-time visitor or you’ve got a favorite ceramicist you return to every year, there’s something for everyone. And trust us — if you’re coming from Dearborn, bring a water bottle, comfy shoes, and a tote bag for the art you’re 100% going to “accidentally” buy.
It’s a cultural summer staple, and it’s got that Midwest meets global creativity energy that makes us proud to call Michigan home.
See you under the tents, friends. 🎨
