First held in 1979, The Greeley Arts Picnic is a two-day festival that brings artisans and visitors from across the United States to celebrate the arts. Over 20,000 visitors will descend upon Greeley to enjoy live music from Colorado entertainers, shop in over 150 artisan booths, and visit a special art exhibition showcasing artists from Weld County. Visitors can grab a cool one in the beer garden or enjoy mouth-watering cuisine from around the world in the food court, including Greek, Mexican, Middle Eastern, Italian, and American BBQ.
This year's Arts Picnic will take place July 24-25, in downtown Greeley's beautiful, historic Lincoln Park. The Arts Picnic's mission has held steadfast, creating a venue for artists and crafters to sell their handmade wares, showcasing local performers' talents, and offering hands-on arts and musical activities for kids. Because of the Arts Picnic's solid foundation built by dedicated citizens well versed in the importance of a healthy arts community, this much-anticipated summertime festival is still going strong. As a certified Creative District, Greeley is well known for having a vital art scene that is vibrant and supportive.
Social distancing and adherence to state-sanctioned and CDC guidelines will be in effect to protect guests, vendors, entertainers, and staff.
