Start in Art Alley
The Revel is a larger festival, but visual art is a central reason to visit. Its 2026 lineup includes more than 80 artists working in painting, sculpture, jewelry, wood, glass and metal. Art Alley offers time to meet makers and compare original work.
The wider program includes several music stages, food vendors and a children’s area. Build in enough time for both the art booths and performances; Art Alley closes before the festival gates.
A useful weekend plan
Arrive earlier for the art, then stay for music and food. Saturday runs later than Sunday. The festival’s posted parking locations and accessibility details are worth checking before you drive downtown.
