The Ann Arbor Art Fair is a group of three award-winning, not-for-profit United States art fairs that take place annually in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Over 400,000 visitors attend the fairs each year. Prior to 2016, the fair ran Wednesday through Saturday, generally the third weekend in July. Beginning in 2016, the days shifted to Thursday through Sunday.[3] There was no event in 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic was to blame;[4] it returned in 2021.[5]
The three official fairs are The Ann Arbor Street Art Fair, the Original; the State Street Art Fair; and the Ann Arbor Summer Art Fair.[6][7] In addition to art exhibits, the fairs feature music performances, demonstrations, merchant marketplace, and interactive art activities.
