An Artful Harbor

July 15, 2023

Bay Harbor is the type of community that looks like it was painted with an artist’s brush, what with the harbor’s turquoise waters and the stunning homes that line the shore. It’s no surprise that for more than 20 years, they’ve been bringing artists from across the country to the Bay Harbor Arts Festival, which runs July 22-23 this year. Juried fine artists and green market artisans alike will mix and mingle on the Marina Lawns along the waterfront, offering something to suit every creative sensibility. Festival goers will also enjoy live music from Kanin Elizabeth and Make Believe Spurs, along with fun activities like the Cottage Pottery Travel Studio (which allows kids and adults to create their own piece of art) and Wingin It Fairy Hair—the sparkly hair equivalent to face painting. The festival runs 10am-5pm Saturday and Sunday. Get all the details at bayharbor.com.
