The 43^rd Annual Arts Picnic, scheduled for July 30 & 31, 2022, will be held in beautiful, historic Lincoln Park in downtown Greeley, Colorado. We look forward to another wonderful festival this summer and hope you can join us! 2021’s Arts Picnic was a huge success and showed us that the folks of Northern Colorado are willing and able to get outdoors and join the world again! Attendance is difficult to track, but we are pretty certain 2021 was our largest attended Arts Picnic to date! Cheers to making 2022 even better!

This two-day event features food booths, a beer garden, and live continuous entertainment on two stages. The Arts Picnic is a nationally known event with artists and crafters from all over the United States selling everything from pottery and paintings, soap to sculptures and gourmet food to garden art! Shoppers can grab a cool one in the beer garden or enjoy mouth-watering cuisine from around the world in the food court including Greek, Mexican, Middle Eastern and Italian, plus good old American BBQ. Some of the best Colorado talent will be featured on two stages throughout the weekend.
