Original art in Main Street Park
Chaffee’s juried rules emphasize original designs and exclude mass-produced work. Visitors can expect fine art and craft across ceramics, fiber, glass, jewelry, photography, wood, metal and mixed media.
Artist demonstrations offer a closer view of process. The park setting, specialty foods and music make it easy to move between the booths and take breaks.
A practical walk through the park
Start with the fine art and craft booths, then return for demonstrations or performers that interest you. Customer parking around Court Square is listed in the organizer’s regulations; consult the latest map and signs on arrival.
