In a move to make the festival even better, The Yellowstone Art Museum will be hosting the 45th annual SummerFair Festival at South Park. That means there will be a pavilion for 2023’s entertainment lineup, an area for food trucks to park, and access to the pool and splash pad.
SummerFair is one of the biggest arts and crafts festivals on this side of the state. Over 100 artists, community groups, and food vendors will be present this year. All vendors must sell home-made items. Arts and crafts are only one part of the event. Local beers, live entertainment, and art demonstrations are also part of the festivities.
This is what Mayor Bill Cole had to say about SummerFair moving to South Park: “I am thrilled that the Yellowstone Art Museum is hosting SummerFair at South Park. South Park is a gem in our downtown core and offers many family amenities. This new venue brings energy—and the arts—to the heart of our magic city.”
