150 artists and craftsmen from across the United States will showcase their work at the 2023 Cheesman Park Art Fest. Each year, artists and craftsmen offer a wide array of mediums and price-points. This is a juried event, and we take pride in the curated selection of hand-made, American-made work that is sold directly by the artists. Check out last year's artist lineup! View 2023 Preview!
Each year we host a dynamic lineup of local musicians playing throughout the day on both Saturday and Sunday. Take a break from shopping to enjoy some tunes beneath the century-old trees of the park! We love to bring you jazz & folk by Denver favorites - the Delta Sonics, Linda Styles, Gregory Goodloe... and many more!
Come hungry! Denver's local food trucks are ready to put some pep in your step while you stroll through the festival. From savory to sweet, we've got you covered with all of Denver's favorite foodies. We will host a curated mix of a dozen trucks & carts at this year's festival. View this year's food & drink vendors.
