This annual art fair takes place next to the beautiful Suttons Bay Marina Park on the first weekend of August
August 2 & 3, 2025, Sat. 10am - 5pm, Sun. 10am - 4pm.
One hundred artists along with community groups, a community library book sale, food vendors and a children's area make this the perfect place to spend an art-filled weekend at the beach.
A committee of volunteers oversees the selection of visiting artists and the distribution of funds generated by the event. Thousands of dollars have been contributed to local arts-related education projects. These include music and dance performances, artist in residence programs and scholarships for local art students. The festival is currently undergoing a two-year transition, during which Crooked Tree Arts Center will assume management of the 2026 event. SBAF board members will continue to play an active role in the jurying and volunteer processes to maintain the event's integrity and consistency.
Come to Suttons Bay in August, participate - as an artist, as a shopper or as a volunteer. Join in the fun!
