The Taste of the Arts Festival is located at Arts Campus Fort Wayne, the downtown cultural district.
Outdoor activities will be located on Main St. between Lafayette and Clinton, in Freimann Square, the parking lot of Barrett McNagny on Barr and Berry, and on the plaza of the Arts United Center.
Indoor activities will be in the Auer Center for Arts & Culture, Parkview Physicians Group ArtsLab, and The History Center.
The YLNI Farmers Market will also be happening on Berry and Barr until 1 pm.
Admission is free to Taste of the Arts! The only cost associated with the festival is if you buy something to eat or drink from our food and drink vendors or an artist in the market.
Nothing at Taste of the Arts requires tickets, so be wary of anyone telling you that they have tickets for sale for this event.
We have a limited-edition illustration t-shirt, designed by Jamie Grabner, available for purchase at the information tent! Each shirt is $20.
Free stickers will also be available.
You will pay vendors directly. We are no longer selling food tickets as we have in previous years. Our vendors all accept cash. Some may accept card, but being prepared with cash is recommended.
