The Festival of the Arts is celebrating 45 years!
Set beneath a historic Amana barn complex, the juried Amana Festival of the Arts showcases handmade works of art with 30+ vendors, demonstrations, food trucks, children’s activities, and more. The picturesque Market Barn complex is filled with all types of artisans where animals once stood, with several rows of tents on the grassy area next to the rustic barn structures that house additional artist demonstrating and displaying their works of art. The festival continues to grow, and will celebrate its 45th year on August 13, 2022, 10AM – 5PM.
