Art in the Park is Saturday!
Art in the Park - Saturday July 19th 

Artists from all over the United States will descend upon Downtown Petoskey to show off their wares. For the 29th year, approximately 125 booths will grace Pennsylvania Park, with items ranging from pottery to jewelry, from paintings to photographs, and much more.

Wander through the hostas to find everything from that perfect, one-of-a-kind gift for someone special to that jaw-dropping focal piece for the home or office. Items range in size from small, intricate pieces of jewelry, to functional wearable art, and more. You'll find something for everyone, even if they're a budding art-lover or a seasoned collector of the fine things in life.

The show is rain or shine, so come prepared to shop!
