Festival of Arts
The Festival of Arts is a three-day celebration of creativity, culture, and community in downtown Gresham. From lively street activations to evening concerts and a full-scale arts festival, the weekend offers multiple ways to connect with local artists, musicians, and neighbors.
The celebration begins on the Third Thursday’s Outdoor Street Fair, featuring vendors, live music, and local food along Main Avenue. Friday continues with Music Under the Stars, inviting the community to gather for an evening of live performances, an old-fashioned street dance and summer vibes where you can enjoy a beer and wine garden.
The weekend culminates on Saturday with the Festival of Arts Main Event, showcasing
- over 150 juried artists
- interactive art experiences in the Arts Plaza
- live music
- food carts
- a Kid Zone
- and the farmers market
Whether you join for one day or all three, the Festival of Arts offers something for everyone — and countless ways to experience the creative heart of the community.
