Held in grassy East Park on Round Lake, the natural harbor between Lakes Michigan and Charlevoix,
where the variety of art, the range of techniques, and the array of colors across the park, make the Charlevoix Waterfront Art Fair a spectacular visual experience.
For over 60 years the Charlevoix Waterfront Art Fair has been bringing fine art to our community. The Waterfront Art Fair is the second oldest juried art fair in Michigan. The goal of the art fair is to provide a venue for creators of quality fine art and fine craft to meet with the art-buying public. The Charlevoix Council for the Arts was formed to develop year-round community participation in the arts. Our goal is to provide inspiration and opportunity for aspiring young local artists and to foster appreciation of the arts, using proceeds from the Charlevoix Waterfront Art Fair. Always held the second Saturday in August, rain or shine.
