The festival will take place just south of Central Park Plaza on Indiana Avenue and Lafayette Street, and the Valparaiso Market, located in the park, will run concurrently throughout the weekend. Festival goers will delight in live artist demos, a graffiti wall, and live entertainment throughout the weekend.
The Kids’ Art Tent will feature face painting, spin art, sand art, and Art Fest bingo. The Valparaiso Creative Council will be handing out kids’ art bags at their booth, and Birds of Paradise coloring books will be available at the Valparaiso Events booth.

Bryan Lee and Dave Lee, renown glass blowers, are the owners of Hot Shop Valpo. Jason Gast specializes in oil paintings of animals and monochromatic portraits of actors and musicians.
