Ann Arbor Art Fair
This yearly event draws in close to half a million attendees over the course of three days. Spanning 30 city blocks in downtown Ann Arbor are a variety of different artists, vendors, food trucks, and special deals at local businesses. This is a special event that cannot be missed! This year, the Ann Arbor Art Fair is scheduled for Thursday, July 18th through Saturday, July 20th, beginning at 10am and going until the evening each day. Parts of the downtown area are pedestrianized and closed to vehicle traffic during the summer months, and this offers visitors the opportunity to enjoy some of the sights, sounds, tastes and culture that Ann Arbor has to offer in a more pedestrian-friendly way.
