Event Calendar

Join us September 26 – 27, 2026 on the beautiful Peoria Riverfront for a weekend filled with artistry, entertainment, and inspiration. Discover works from talented creators from the Peoria region, across the nation, and around the world. Explore a vibrant selection of media, meet the artists, and experience the energy of one of the longest-running fine art fairs in the country.

Visitors of all ages can enjoy a variety of interactive activities, including:

• Kids Art Festival with hands-on make-and-take projects

• Interactive Community Mural open to all fairgoers

• Live music and performances

• Local food and beverage vendors showcasing Peoria favorites

• And countless other creative experiences to discover

If you think the kids are the only ones having fun, the interactive Community Mural is designed for adults. It takes hundreds of people to participate in this fun, hands-on activity — and everyone attending the fair can watch as the mural literally comes together tile-by-tile over this three-day event. It’s free, it’s fun and it’s available to everyone.

Again this year, we are proud to promote the I BUY ART Campaign which is exclusive to the Fine Art Fair in Peoria. The campaign was launched to reinforce a philosophy that the best way to support the arts is to buy art, and can be obtained from the artists when you purchase their work. On entering the fair, you can enjoy live musical selections throughout our scenic riverfront as a backdrop to your viewing and purchasing of the art on display.
