Now in its fifty-third year, the Midsummer Festival of the Arts is a Sheboygan favorite for finding special works of art and meeting their makers. By exploring the many experiences the Festival offers, you can connect with community, artists, and the current Arts Center theme Considering Kin.

One hundred juried artist booths will feature paintings, photographs, jewelry, wearables, wood carvings, ceramics, glass, leather goods, textiles, and more. New this year, meet five emerging artists who will show their work. In addition, we welcome back three organizations serving adults with disabilities that were a part of the Festival last year. There will be live music and performances, hands-on art making, food, fun, and more—all on the grounds of the John Michael Kohler Arts Center and City Green.
