Arts & Apples Festival

"Since 1965, the Art & Apples Festival® has transformed the 30-acre Rochester Municipal Park into one of the nation’s top fine art fairs, bringing together 250+ fine art exhibitors, a wide range of food trucks and tents, stage entertainment and art demonstrations, and art activity stations for the three-day weekend, bringing in over 60,000 attendees.

Each year, artists from all over the country converge the weekend after Labor Day to showcase their work in a variety of mediums. The Art & Apples Festival® consistently ranks in the Top 50 Fine Art & Design Festivals in the country by Sunshine Artist Magazine, and was ranked Top 10 in both 2018 and 2019, and #9 in 2021 for the publication’s Best of the Decade (2010-2020).

The Art & Apples Festival® is a program of Paint Creek Center for the Arts- a regional, nonprofit art center located in downtown Rochester, Michigan- and is the arts organization’s annual fundraiser. PCCA works year-round to advance its mission to celebrate and support creativity in our community by providing opportunities for all to learn, create, experience, and appreciate the arts."
