The Taste of the Arts Festival is Saturday, August 29, 2026, at Arts Campus Fort Wayne. Festival events will take place from 11 am – 5 pm.
The Taste of the Arts Festival is located at Arts Campus Fort Wayne, the downtown cultural district with both indoor and outdoor activities.
Outdoor activities will be located on Main St. between Lafayette and Clinton, in Freimann Square, and on the plaza of the Arts United Center.
Indoor activities will be in the Arts United Center, Auer Center for Arts & Culture, and Parkview Physicians Group ArtsLab.
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.
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.
Check out the parking options downtown on this map.
These parking options will not be available due to the festival footprint: Freimann Square parking lot, Auer Center lot, street parking between Berry St. and Main St. on Barr St.
