TC Mural Festival + Downtown Art Fair

Sept. 6, 2025

Usually a summertime staple, Traverse City moved its beloved Downtown Art Fair to Sept. 13-14 to align with the city’s first-ever Mural Festival. Here’s what to expect this weekend: On the art fair side, explore the work of dozens of artists in Rotary Square (between Union and State streets). Then, to blend the two events, Crooked Tree Arts Center and Look Wonder Discover, a Beulah-based nonprofit, will host a hands-on community mural that will be installed adjacent to the Larry Hardy parking structure entrance on Front Street. Meanwhile, the TC Mural Festival welcomes six muralists to make their mark in the North Boardman neighborhood Sept. 12-17. An artist panel, family-friend art day, and community parade are a few of the week’s highlights. Learn more at downtowntc.com/downtown-art-fair-series and tcpublicart.org/tc-mural-festival-2.
