August 1st & 2nd, 2026
Lakeview Park, Port Clinton

Our annual fine arts and decorative arts festival, Arts in the Park, is held the first full weekend in August at beautiful Lakeview Park in Port Clinton, Ohio, on the shores of Lake Erie across from the Port Clinton City Beach. The 2026 festival will take place on Saturday, August 1, from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm and Sunday, August 2, from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. Ottawa County’s premier art festival hosts more than 100 artists and artisans from throughout the Midwest and beyond, offering visitors the opportunity to explore and purchase original artwork in a picturesque lakeside setting.

Arts in the Park is free and open to the public and offers something for the entire family. In addition to outstanding artwork and handcrafted creations, visitors can enjoy the popular Children’s Make It & Take It tent, a variety of food vendors, and the Exhibition Tent featuring more than 100 original works of art by regional artists. Whether you’re a serious art collector or simply looking for a fun summer outing, Arts in the Park has something for everyone.

New for 2026, Arts in the Park is offering a free shuttle service from the Sutton Center, located at 1854 E. Perry Street in Port Clinton. The shuttle will provide convenient transportation to and from the festival throughout the weekend, helping visitors avoid parking concerns and making the event more accessible for everyone. Guests are encouraged to take advantage of this complimentary service and enjoy a stress-free visit to one of Ohio’s longest-running and most beloved art festivals.
