Oconomowoc Festival of the Arts

Celebrate art and creativity at this beloved outdoor festival, recognized as one of the Midwest's top fine art events. Browse work from over 110 juried artists showcasing ceramics, jewelry, painting, photography, sculpture, glass, fiber, wood, and more. The festival also features a silent art auction, live music, and entertainment throughout the day. Best of all, admission is completely free, and a continuous shuttle service runs from nearby parking areas, making it easy to get there without the parking hassle. Families with young children will find plenty to enjoy. The dedicated children's area lets kids ages 4 and up create their own art through activities like mural painting and face painting, with a coloring table for younger artists too. Between art exploration, delicious food options, and the scenic lakeside setting at Fowler Park, there's something for everyone. Rain or shine, this all-volunteer community event has been bringing fine art to the area for over 50 years and offers a wonderful way to introduce kids to different art forms while enjoying a family outing.
