Watermark Art Festival

Saturday July 20 from 10AM to 5PM
Sunday July 21 from 10AM to 4PM

Previously known as “Art in the Park” this juried fine art and craft fair has been a summer highlight for Northern Minnesotan residents and tourists since 1967. Vendors sell a wide variety of items including hand-crafted wood items, ceramics, apparel, jewelry, photography, metalworking, greeting cards, homemade preserves, soaps, stained glass, original paintings, garden art and more!

The two-day festival draws thousands of visitors to Downtown Bemidji. The festival area has been expanded to include the Watermark Art Center grounds as well as the historic tree-lined Library Park across the street.

Over 100 artists, many new to the festival, will be featured in addition to artist demonstrations, three stages, entertainment, music and food, plus kids' activities. Watermark Art Center will also be open for visitors to the galleries and gift shop.
